Nationalism, Christianity and Kierkegaard -- H.L. Martensen -- N.F.S. Grundtvig -- Philosophical tools -- History -- Identity -- Undefined new things : church and state |
| Summary |
This study brings Kierkegaard's critique of Christian nationalism into conversation with current political science theories of religious nationalism and reflects on the implications of Kierkegaard's radical approach. While the critique is unsettling to politicians and church leaders alike, nevertheless there is much to commend it to the reality of modern religious and social life. As a theological thinker keenly aware of the unique problems posed by Christendom, Kierkegaard's critique is timely for any Christian culture that is tempted to confuse its faith with patriotism or national affiliation |
