According to Julia Watkin all of these approaches suppress the reality of Kierkegaard as a Christian thinker, albeit one of a uniquely challenging cast who saw the need to treat Christianity as a personal existential adventure in which one is not afraid to risk oneself. In Kierkegaard, Watkin uses Danish critical sources to classify the legendary thinker as one of a radical Christian persuasion.Kierkegaard raised and addreOutstanding Christian thinkers.ChristianityPhilosophyChristianityPhilosophy.198.9230/.044092Watkin Julia1622408MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910807980703321Kierkegaard3956246UNINA
