Although Søren Kierkegaard, considered one of the most passionate
Christian writers of the modern age, was a Lutheran, he was
deeply dissatisfied with the Lutheran establishment of his day.
Some scholars have said that he pushed his faith toward
Catholicism. Placing Kierkegaard in sustained dialogue with the
Catholic tradition, Jack Mulder, Jr., does not simply review
Catholic reactions to or interpretations of Kierkegaard, but
rather provides an extended look into convergences and
differences on issues such as natural theology, natural moral
law, Christian love, apostolic authority, the doctrine of hell,
contrition for sins, the doctrine of purgatory, and the communion
of saints. Through his analysis of Kierkegaard’s philosophy of
religion, Mulder presents deeper possibilities for engagements
between Protestantism and Catholicism.
