Publisher's Synopsis
Personal, experiential faith is seldom given a seat at the table of academic theology and biblical studies. David Crump, however, with the assistance of Søren Kierkegaard's religious philosophy, claims that "authentic understanding, and thus authentic Christian commitment, can only arise from the personal commitment that is faith."
Examining the various biblical, historical, cultural, theological, and academic hurdles demanding a truly Kierkegaardian leap of faith before one can meet the resurrected Jesus, Crump'sEncountering Jesus, Encountering Scriptureprovides a very insightful discussion of key New Testament texts and issues revealing how Truth is discovered only through the subjectivity of faith.
