Existing Before God introduces readers to one of the most important 19th-century Christian thinkers, Soren Kierkegaard. In this volume, Paul R. Sponheim unfolds Kierkegaard's Sickness unto Death- a key text outlining the problem of the human condition and the paradoxical heart of authentic Christian faith, the qualitative difference between God and creatures, and its synthesis in the God-man. Sponheim also draws out the connections between this text and Kierkegaard's larger theological and ethical vision, and the reception and significance of this text in the modern and contemporary theological.
