Existing Before God introduces readers to one of the most important 19th century Christian thinkers, Soren Kierkegaard. In this volume, Paul R. Sponheim, unfolds Kierkegaards Sickness unto Death a key text outlining the problem of the human condition and the paradoxical heart of authentic Christian faith, the qualitative difference between God and creatures and its synthesis in the God-man. Sponheim also draws out the connections between this text and Kierkegaards larger theological and ethical vision, and the reception and significance of this text in the modern and contemporary theological tradition.
Paul R. Sponheim is Professor of Systematic Theology Emeritus at Luther Seminary, Saint Paul, Minnesota. Among his published works are God: The Question and the Quest (1985), A Primer on Prayer (1988), Faith and the Other (1993), and The Pulse of Creation (1999), all from Fortress Press.
