Bierkergaard: The Writings of Soren Kierkegaard

Soren’s essay quotes the Epistle of James as a basis for his thoughts. James writes that we are to be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger. For the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness that God requires. I use Alexander the Great as an example. He conquered large swaths of the ancient world but could not conquer his anger. As a note, I will only use the Season number from here on in. Since the date the episode is published is enough for identification.

Soren, like James, wants us to not be a forgetful hearer of the Word. Like a man who looks at himself in a mirror and forgets what he looks like.

Catching up on what I am reading and shared an essay I wrote about silence.

Not really. Just an update on Bierkergaard.

Kierkegaard finishes "Training In Christianity" with the reminder of Peter's words of "Where else can we go?" God's plan and provision is Christ or nothing. That's it. I am very happy to finish this book. Soren hammered home the message and it took him over two hundred pages to do so. I am likely going to take a few weeks off before taking on another book. There is a chance that I will end the podcast for good. When I say that I am not wedded to Bierkergaard: The Writings of Soren Kierkegaard, I truly mean it. The second it no longer brings me joy, it is over. But, I am cool with continuing with it too at the present time. Just need a break.
