Parts One and Three, \"The Cares of the Pagans\" and \"Thoughts That Wound from Behind--for Upbuilding,\" serve as a polemical overture to Kierkegaard's collision with the established order of Christendom. Yet Parts Two and Four, \"Joyful Notes in the Strife of Suffering\" and \"Discourses at the Communion on Fridays,\" are reassuring affirmations of the joy and blessedness of Christian life in a world of adversity and suffering. Written in ordinary language, the work combines simplicity and inwardness with reflection and presents crucial Christian concepts and presuppositions with unusual clarity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Kierkegaard continued in the pattern that he began with his first pseudonymous esthetic work, \u003ci\u003eEither\/Or\u003c\/i\u003e, by pairing \u003ci\u003eChristian Discourses\u003c\/i\u003e with \u003ci\u003eThe Crisis\u003c\/i\u003e, an unsigned esthetic essay on contemporary Danish actress Joanne Luise Heiberg.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Søren Kierkegaard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/11\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Kierkegaard's Writings #17\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.14d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691140780","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45109283881097,"sku":"9780691140780","price":63.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_40304c7f-a216-499e-a4da-1f6d3e4c228f.jpg?v=1767073848","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/christian-discourses-the-crisis-and-a-crisis-in-the-life-of-an-actress-9780691140780","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
