Review: A call to authenticity, intentionality, & accepting the uncertainties. - Question: why is Kierkegaard still relevant today? The answer: practicality. There is a difference between studying something academically in a philosophy class, or a theology class versus grasping a concept that can be transformative in one’s living situation. In brief terms, there’s a difference between the wisdom of Academia versus practical wisdom transmitted through the ages. I believe Kierkegaard would’ve wanted his philosophy to be available to men and women in their living situation: nurturing if you will a developing and maturing soul. For Kierkegaard, spiritual development isn't about hoarding knowledge, or cloister getaway behind academic walls. Rather, it's about commitment to living authentically before the Creator. Including the following: 1. Accept a degree of uncertainty and ambiguity as part of our living situation. Concentrate on discovering a deeper meaning and purpose. This necessitates engagement, not just laboratory analysis regarding our position in society. 2. Do not remain in passivity: Living with a focused self-directed intentionality should carry with it straightforwardness, joined with integrity. 3. Prioritize Authenticity and intentionality within and without – understanding that life is about relationships, including our relationship with Yahweh. ----- To clarify Key Points: “Leap of Faith” ----- Kierkegaard specified that genuine belief requires a “leap”: a passionate act of will deliberately, motivating a choice; (a choice that might seem at odds with deductive reasoning alone): a kind of radical commitment beyond the veil of empiricism. ----- Additionally: Existential Anxiety ----- We cannot avoid anxiety: we should accept degrees of uncertainty. Nevertheless it should be stressed that true spiritual growth occurs when we embrace the anxiety and discomfort – it is 'the rack' that stretches us to a greater purpose where we might stand just a little bit taller. ===== Application: For Modern Culture ===== Consumerism: in contemporary society, you often hear the phrase, 'He who dies with the most toys wins.' This represents an endless hunt for novelty. Yet, in the end, such relentless acquisition turns out to be hollow. When we measure success only by the number of things we own, we may lose sight of what truly matters: meaningful relationships, and personal growth. Social Media: a type of performance art. By presenting a false image on Facebook we are not living authentically. In conclusion, I wanted to add a little bit about myself: I’m a person of faith that has found Kierkegaard not only useful but relevant on my spiritual journey. I believe you will as well. Before I go, I want to leave you with this: “Life Can Only Be Understood Backwards, But It Must Be Lived Forwards.”
Review: Indispensable for the Kierkegaard lover - I have dedicated a few years of my life to Kierkegaard's writings, in various undergrad and graduate level philosophy/theology courses. So I understand first-hand the intricate attention required to fully appreciate the aims and motivations of his authorship. I first came across Provocations, compiled by Charles E. Moore, as a free PDF download --free, and yet so valuable. Being able to Ctrl+F search through the text for relevant material was when the sheer utility of this book truly hit me. This book makes Kierkegaard accessible to everyone. Period. That makes it an achievement all by itself. Having said that, I readily admit the danger in reducing SK's body of work into chunks of quotable aphorisms and excerpts (even as pithy and awesomely sharp as he was). But I am willing to sacrifice a bit of the hermenutical depth for the every-man if it means the many can quickly interact with gems that have otherwise taken a few scholars generations to sift through the rich soil of SK's journals and works to discover. Bottom line: this book is awesome, in the most strict sense of the term. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Monumental Sanctifying Collection
*by R***E on February 14, 2017*

While written centuries ago, this is probably one of the most important Christian works for contemporary Christianity. Kierkegaard's message about the difference between spirituality (inwardness) and religion (human behaviors and expressions) is a timeless one. These essays provoke one to reflect on his or her relationship with the Divine, his or her own life's authenticity, and faith versus knowledge. A strength of this collection of essays is that they are very brief, full of meaning, and give one a lot to ponder. One can read one or two essays and then spend time really digesting and ruminating on what Kierkegaard was provoking him or her to meditate on. I find them great for personal devotions. If one belongs to a "commercial" style mega church or really enjoys the sweet writings of televangelists who write books commingling positive psychology with Scripture, then Provocations will shake his or her faith to seek a deeper connection with God. Kierkegaard will challenge any theologian too. This is just a fantastic work and good medicine for the soul. These essays are not for bringing a non-believer to Christ because it is not intended to bring one to a justification by grace alone through faith alone; That is the work of the Gospel. Rather, these are sanctifying essays for the confessional Christian.
