"Ferreira manages with fine-grained precision to chart a double strand through Kierkegaard's life-works, 1843-55. Only a miniaturist of her especially sharp eye and steady hand could accomplish this in anything like the accuracy and detail everywhere so evident.„ (Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews, March 2009)“This work is an insightful introduction by one of Kierkegaard'sforemost interpreters. Ferreira introduces readers to Kierkegaardby introducing them to Kierkegaard's texts, and she does so withsensitivity 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 reliableguide to the whole Kierkegaard, including his edifying andreligious works.„
-Professor George Pattison, University of Oxford
“Jamie Ferreira has accomplished what I myself would findimpossible: She has written an intellectual introduction toKierkegaard that is accessible to the general reader. Her bookprovides a comprehensive account of the content ofKierkegaard's writings and captures the spirit of his work. In short, she strikes a felicitous balance between what and howKierkegaard thought."
