This episode, Soren writes quite a bit about "Indirect Communication" as a reality of Christ willing to be Incognito. The footnote comments by translator Walter Lowrie are helpful in this matter. Also discuss the ramifications of having a Theology of... more

Jesus Christ, as the "Divine Incognito”, is the God-Man who willingly laid down the prerogatives of Deity to become a servant. Even to death on a cross.

  • Something else entirely

    This is a reflective podcast not only about Kierkegaards’s writings but about real life, values, authentic faith and good coffee. If you appreciate unpretentious Christians as much as I do, give this a listen. Every episode is like sitting down with Eric and musing over everything from irritating groundhogs and Trump’s latest antics to what it means to live a deep life of faith.
