“A remarkable resource not only for Kierkegaard scholars but for anyone interested in the relationship between philosophy, religion, and science as lived practices, this book opens up new spaces for research and articulates a promising way of living as reflectively engaged, fully invested, and socially located. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.” (J. A. Simmons, Choice, Vol. 55 (8), April, 2018)
