Studies in Spirituality Supplements - 29: Being Seen in God

(Human Hiddenness and) Kierkegaard's Call to Gaze in the Mirror of the Word

En savoir plus sur le livre

The Danish author Soren Aabye Kierkegaard (1813-1855) is a prominent theologian in modern intellectual history, with his influence spanning theological, philosophical, literary, psychological, and aesthetic discourses worldwide. This publication offers valuable insights into Kierkegaard's interpretation of Scripture in modernity, serving as a significant addition to Kierkegaardian studies and fostering further research on this influential thinker. It also contributes to contemporary hermeneutics, addressing the Enlightenment's legacy and the nature of biblical interpretation as a hermeneutical endeavor. Scripture invites us to reconnect with our being-seen-in-God. In solitude with it, we recognize that we are gazing into the mirror of the One who loves us from our origin. Reading Scripture requires us to avoid the distractions of human interpretations, as the true meaning is accessible to everyone, regardless of their theological knowledge. Scripture lives within us, reminding us of the Word that speaks to our subjectivity. True understanding occurs when we fall silent, realizing that our human logic pales in comparison to the wisdom of God. Only then can the Word guide our existence. Ultimately, there is only one eternal object of wonder—God—and the only obstacle to this wonder is our own desire to assert ourselves.
