The preacher without a pulpit - Søren Kierkegaard in memory of Jonathan Stenseth and his parents Inger and Junius Stenseth

Abstract

Facing Kierkegaard's many faceted personality and achievements, this paper portrays the Danish philosopher as a Christian, who was in a theological battle and never ceased trying to reach the Christian ideals. An overview of Kierkegaard’s prayers and attitudes toward prayer shows the enormous importance prayer had for his inner life and the profound Christian dimension of his unconventional thought.
