This violent opposition, however, proves that in reality it had been caused by the Reformation itself...."

Kierkegaard is one of those interesting guys. Sometimes he's terribly lacking in terms of orthodoxy....but other times he's spot on.
Great quote.

I've been re-introduced to Kierkegaard through Vernard Eller's book Kierkegaard and Radical Discipleship.
These guys are awesome.Am going to write a post about them and share it on the church website
