Reviews

“In this eleven-chapter monograph, Fremstedal offers a fresh contribution to the growing scholarship on the comparative religious thought of Søren Kierkegaard and Immanuel Kant that will also appeal to philosophers of religion.” (Erik M. Hanson, Religious Studies Review, Vol. 42 (4), December, 2016)
