Kierkegaard's Visions for Christian Life challenges traditional views of Søren Kierkegaard’s Christian thought as anthropocentric, androcentric, and individualistic. Drawing on Kierkegaard’s religious reflections on the lily and the bird, his maternal metaphors for God and Christ, and his generative readings of three women from the Bible, it offers a constructive feminist theology that attends to the centrality of joy and flourishing, openness to the divine and others, and communion with specific beloved individuals for Christian life.
This book reconfigures the Christian virtues of faith, hope, and love, as well as the joy that it produces, in ways uniquely conceived by Kierkegaard that enable us to navigate our current world of suffering and uncertainty more productively and powerfully.
Kierkegaard's Visions for Christian Life will appeal to graduate students and academic readers interested in Kierkegaard, human flourishing, the theological virtues, the concept of joy, the idea of love, feminist theology, and philosophy of religion.
Deidre Nicole Green is Assistant Professor of Latter-day Saint/Mormon Studies at the Graduate Theological Union, where she teaches courses on Christian theology, philosophy of religion, and feminist religious thought. She has authored numerous articles and chapters on Kierkegaard, as well as a previous book entitled Works of Love in a World of Violence: Kierkegaard, Feminism, and the Limits of Self-Sacrifice (Mohr Siebeck, 2016).
