WOuld it be fair to say that Kierkegaard is responsible for the idea that equates the Christian doctrines of faith with fideism that is so popular today? I think I heard Sproul say this in a lecture some years ago. Anyone have any online resources about Kierkegaard's influence on Christianity?


Thanks

I don't think it's ALL his fault but he sure didn't help. Barth is partly to blame as well, I think. It's all about the Encounter! Good grief, he sounds like a revivalist at times!:bigsmile:

Kierkegaard is really the founder of today's Christian irrationalism.
