Biographical note
George Pattison is Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity at the University of Oxford and Canon of Christ Church Cathedral. His publications include God and Being; An Enquiry (2011); Crucifixions and Resurrections of the Image (2009) and Kierkegaard, Religion and the Nineteenth Century Crisis of Culture (Cambridge, 2002). He is editor and translator of Kierkegaard's Spiritual Writings (2010).'Pattison's very interesting book contributes substantially to existing scholarship by presenting Kierkegaard's theological position as both coherent and unique. For those who prefer to neglect or undermine the theological commitments of Kierkegaard's thought, his book poses a real challenge. And on the other hand, for those who are concerned that regarding Kierkegaard as a theologian may come at the expense of appreciating him as a philosopher, it elegantly demonstrates that there is no place for such a concern. His book should be of great interest to students and scholars in both philosophy and theology.' Sharon Krishek, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem
'One for the specialist …' The Times Literary Supplement
'Relatively compact but thoroughly comprehensive … Pattison's book is an extremely rich resource for further development … a book that lays out a mountain of evidence that, probably, buries the old 'existentialist' reading for good.' Jason Goltz, The Bibliographia
'George Pattison's detailed and illuminating work provides an important and welcome service to the field. … This expansive exposition of Kierkegaard and his context warrants an esteemed place as one of the first ports of call for any theological engagement with a great thinker whose time, even yet, has perhaps not fully arrived.' Simon D. Podmore, The Expository Times
