beejai 's review for:

The Sickness unto Death by Søren Kierkegaard
3.0

Despair isn't something outside of us but rather a part of us. It can be healthy in that it is the pathway through which we come to faith.

If I were going to sum up Kierkegaard's incredibly dense (as in "heavy", not as in "thick-headed") book I would use be the above two sentences. Of course, there is a lot more to glean from this. I always love reading SK. Also, I always find him a difficult read. One could say that the cookies are definitely not on the lower shelf, but they sure are tasty.
