Cfp: "Kierkegaard and the Religious Crisis of the 19th Century," ACTA KIERKEGAARDIANA 4 (forthcoming).
In the wake of the Enlightenment, Europe in the nineteenth century was left in a deep religious crisis, which called into question most of the traditional Christian dogmas and beliefs. The aim of this volume is to explore this religious crisis as a background to Kierkegaard’s work, and his work as a response to it. How, exactly, does Kierkegaard characterise the religious crisis of his age? How is his work intended to solve that crisis? Moreover, does the religious crisis of the nineteenth century bear any similarity to our own contemporary ethical and religious dilemmas? If so, what solution can Kierkegaard’s work provide to our problems? Papers which address this topic are invited for submission.

Do we really know anything about "true" religion or do we only argue about the dogmas of organized religions? For those who seek true understanding through years of reading and research, I highly recommend my father's new book (”The Secret Life Of Jesus And Mary Magdalene” by Richard J. Lanzara). You can see the reveiw at the Barnes and Noble site ( http://search.barnesandnoble.com/The-Secret-Life-Of-Jesus-And-Mary-Magdalene/Richard-J-Lanzara/e/9781607034162 ). Enjoy!
