His influence is comprehensive: it is to be       detected, amongst others, in theological, philosophical, literary,       psychological and aesthetic discourses across the globe in many       contexts.               As such this publication will provide welcome input in further       reflection on Kierkegaard’s role in the interpretation of Scripture in       modernity. Huls’s book is a refreshing addition to Kierkegaardian       studies, which will pave the way for further research on one of the       great thinkers of our time. It is also a useful contribution to the       debate in contemporary hermeneutics about the legacy of the       Enlightenment and the nature of biblical interpretation as a       hermeneutical enterprise. (Pieter de Villiers)               Scripture aims to bring us back to our being-seen-in-God. By being alone       with it, we realize that in it we are looking in the mirror of Him who       loves us from our origin. In reading Scripture, we can, consequently,       not be allowed to flee in all sorts of human fabrications about       Scripture, as if only the knowledge of theologians could expose the true       meaning of Scripture. Every person, whether well-schooled or not,       whether he has much or little knowledge, knows Scripture, because before       all else Scripture lives in us. Scripture merely reminds us of the Word       that is spoken in us immediately and that constitutes our subjectivity.                     As long as the Word has not truly made us fall silent and we ourselves       still think we have a say, the Word does not yet have us in its grasp.       Only when we truly fall silent, in the realization that our human logic       shrinks into insignificance compared to the wisdom of Him who loves us       from our origin, can this Word become directive in our existence.       Because there is truly only one eternal object of wonder – that is       God – and only one possible hindrance to wonder – and that is a person       when he himself wants to be something.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55168824803702,"sku":"9789042935358","price":122.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_26551223.jpg?v=1737383650","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9789042935358-being-seen-in-god-human-hiddenness-and-kierkegaards-call-to-gaze-in-the-mirror-of-the-word","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
