Kierkegaard, Pietism and Holiness - Barnett, Christopher B.

Soren Kierkegaard wrote that Pietism is 'the one and only consequence of Christianity'. This study of Kierkegaard's relation to the Pietist movement not only establishes Pietism as a formative influence on his life and thinking, but also sheds light on crucial Kierkegaardian concepts, from the importance of 'upbuilding' to the imitation of Christ.
