Family Conscience

History & Biography

“Meticulously researched and elegantly written, Family Conscience provides a genealogy of the values of four generations of an accomplished and morally aspiring clan. As honest as it is tender, Barbour’s study is rife with illuminating reflections on the nature of conscience considered as an amalgam of reason, desire, and history. Life’s moral complexity is brought home with engaging stories and the author’s willingness to give voice to relatives with conflicting perspectives on family history.”

Kierkegaard and Political Theology

Philosophy

Foreword

(wrote the foreword)

Kierkegaard's Concept of Faith

Philosophy

“A clear, elegantly written, and rigorously argued reading of Kierkegaard's major texts, this book will be a boon to both beginners and advanced scholars. . . . Merold Westphal is one of the doyens of Kierkegaard studies, and this text is one of his greatest contributions to the interpretation of the Danish philosopher/poet.”

Kierkegaard’s Pastoral Dialogues

Philosophy

“In these imaginative dialogues, Pattison and Jensen have captured the pith of Kierkegaard's thinking on matters of life and death. They have done so without bowdlerizing or oversimplifying the texts. It is an achievement in the art of communication that Kierkegaard himself would have smiled upon!”

On Kierkegaard and the Truth

Philosophy

“"Professor Paul L. Holmer was the doyen of Kierkegaard studies for much of the later part of the twentieth century. His jargon-free writings are crisp, clear, epiphanic, and always in earnest . . .”

Poetry and Heroism

Philosophy

“Appearing in virtually all his works, the Poet and the Hero are ideal types for Kierkegaard. Elegantly written and choc-a-bloc with interpretive insights, McCombs’s study will prove valuable to advanced scholars and beginners alike. McCombs’s nuanced reading of Kierkegaard’s Either/Or and Fear and Trembling provide a matchless guide to these complicated texts which in many ways anchor Kierkegaard’s entire authorship.”
