"This work is an insightful introduction by one of Kierkegaard's foremost interpretersFerreira introduces readers to Kierkegaard by introducing them to Kierkegaard's texts, and she does so with sensitivity and grace. A remarkable achievement." Professor C. Stephen Evans, Baylor University "Jamie Ferreira's 'Kierkegaard' is clearly written, pedagogically sensitive, and informed by the best current research. It offers teachers, researchers and first-time readers a reliable guide to the whole Kierkegaard, including his edifying and religious works." Professor George Pattison, University of Oxford "Jamie Ferreira has accomplished what I myself would find impossible: She has written an intellectual introduction to Kierkegaard that is accessible to the general reader. Her book provides a comprehensive account of the content of Kierkegaard's writings and captures the spirit of his work. In short, she strikes a felicitous balance between what and how Kierkegaard thought." Niels Jorgen Cappelorn, Soren Kierkegaard Research Center, University of Copenhagen
