The Lily of the Field and the Bird of the Air: Three Godly Discourses by Søren Kierkegaard

challenging hopeful reflective medium-paced

It was beautiful. I can’t say I agree with most of the things in here, I tend to agree with Stephen West’s reading in his episode in the text in Philosophize This, but I am glad I read it. The more Christian stuff I read, I simultaneously begin to realize why someone might be drawn to the Christian faith and also why cults/fanatic religious sentiments are so common.

I think overall, in a very individual sense, learning what Kierkegaard suggests could be helpful, but I think context is important, complete obedience to “god” can be easily manipulated and can easily lead to a person refusing to grow, refusing to change regardless of what context might exist.

In conclusion, this can be read so many different ways.
