While I was working on my PhD and a questionnaire, I stated to readers that I would share both my questionnaire results and the PhD in segments.
Most of the thesis work has been presented at least once online in an article. But looking through Blogger archives, now thankfully very helpfully updated after years, I have not done an entry, specifically on Danish philosopher and theologian Soren Kierkegaard, known in particular for work on existentialism.
Overall, in my academic work,, I have dealt with his writing, minimally. I concentrated mostly on writers that could be connected to theodicy and the problem of evil within theology and philosophy.
Briefly…
---
Soren Kierkegaard states that ‘sin is man’s destruction.’ Kierkegaard (1847-1848)(1955)(1966: 108).
Compatibilism allows for limited but significant human freedom. Kierkegaard suggests that Christianity is a religion of freedom and Christians are convinced to voluntarily give up all contrary to Christ. Kierkegaard (1847-1848)(1955)(1966: 186). The term 'convinced' is a good one and I reason this is a work of the Holy Spirit.
