De-Fragmenting Modernity

Philosophy

“Modern science, focusing on facts and power, is neither coherent nor existentially adequate. Instead of this crumbling edifice, the author of this book erects a new one--which actually is the old one--founded on the wonder of existence and the appreciation of finding ourselves in a world that makes sense. The solution he offers is not only intellectually satisfying; it is even essential for solving the scientific, political, and moral challenges of our time.”

Kierkegaard’s Theological Sociology

Philosophy

“Kierkegaard does not only analyze individuals. In this book, the author first shows that Kierkegaard also has a profound understanding of the modern, liberal society. Then he applies this insight on our contemporary challenges in a highly meaningful way. This book boldly and creatively addresses the relation between theology and sociology and explores how we are impacted by our cultural and religious environment.”

Majestic Mirror or Mind-Bending Mirage

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“In this book, Kofoed has given us an investigation that is both exegetically precise and theologically and philosophically ambitious. In this way, he succeeds in documenting that the biblical texts are governed by a difference between nature and person that informs the givenness of one’s biological sex as an unchangeable point of orientation. The analyses are carried by a depth that commands respect and invites further reflection.”
