Kierkegaard and Radical Discipleship

Focusing on Kierkegaard as a religious thinker, Professor Eller argues that understanding his works requires a religious context. He compares Kierkegaard's ideas to those of the Brethren, a typical Protestant sect, highlighting similarities in their discussions on individualism, the relationship with God, the role of reason in faith, and the concept of free will. While the Brethren lacked Kierkegaard's sophistication, their writings reveal significant parallels that enrich the understanding of his religious thought.
