Reihe: Kierkegaard Studies. Monograph Series

is the first monograph to be devoted exclusively to Søren Kierkegaard’s Christological masterpiece, . Alongside an argument for a new translation of the work’s title, it offers detailed textual commentary on a series of themes in , such as the person of Christ, contemporaneity, imitation, and Kierkegaard’s philosophy of history.

Anti-Climacus, the pseudonymous author of , presents to his readers a uniquely challenging understanding of who Christ is and what it means to follow him. The Christ of Anti-Climacus is not the glorious Christ who abides with the Father in heaven, but the abased Christ who is poor, marginal, offensive, and persecuted. Throughout , we are called not only to perceive the abased Christ, but to follow after him.

The Abased Christ aims to enrich historical theologians’ appreciation of Kierkegaard’s Christology. However, it concludes by grappling with questions of power, agency, and sacrifice which have been at the forefront of contemporary theology in the 20 and 21 centuries, thereby suggesting how we might make sense of Kierkegaard’s Christology today.
