Riforma, dottrina e azione. Considerazioni sull’Esercizio di Cristianesimo di Søren Kierkegaard

This paper aims to propose an overview on Kierkegaard’s Practice in
Christianity (1850), in order to underline the main elements of Kierkegaardian
interpretation of Christianity. The first part of the paper provides an short overview
of the relationships between Kierkegaard, Luther and the meaning of reform
in Kierkegaard’s perspective. The second part of the paper analyses the Kierkegaardian
critique of false and inauthentic Christianity, in order to underline the
importance of a new conception of temporality and the notion of contemporaneity
with Christ, nerve centre of the Practice of Christianity. From the re-elaboration
of these complex and deep concepts, the paper tries to show the originality of
Kierkegaard’s philosophical and theological perspective about the Christianity.
