(pg. 1 - 2), rather than the God of the Old

probably deny this vehemently). However, in the
course of his writings, Kierkegaard takes quite a
liberal and (dare I say it? ) individualistic
stand on the side of Christianity. In the passages
I have read of Kierkegaard (That Individual and
Truth is Subjectiv...
