Paper Summary:

"Christian Discourses" shows a gentler more forbearing side of Kierkegaard's nature than some of his other works. One week before publishing it, during Easter, he underwent a strong religious experience, perceiving that God had not only forgiven him his sins but forgotten them too. "Christian Discourses" is divided into four parts:The Anxieties of the Heathen, Joyful Notes in the Strife of Suffering, Thoughts Which Wound from Behind for Edification and Discourses at the Communion on Fridays.

From the Paper:

"Christian Discourses was published on April 26, 1848 yet the final draft had been completed by the end of the previous year. Also in 1847 (March), Edifying Discourses in Various Spirits was published, which declares that through suffering we are molded for eternity. In September, Works of love, Some Christian Considerations in the Form of Discourses was published, describing our duty of love to God and neighbor. SK had also completed the first drafts of Sickness Unto Death and Training in Christianity."

I competed an honours degree in theology and Church History at Charles Sturt University. This uni works with the Anglican Church in Australia to run this degree. I studied most of the major aspects of theology and the history of the Western Church. My Honours thesis was about South Africa nd apartheid and the Churches. I also have a keen interest in the relationship of the emerging ideas of the biologist Sheldrake and quantum physics and theologies.
