Soren Kierkegard anticipated twentieth century existentialism and provided it with many of its motifs; he transformed Protestant theology and Biblical exegesis; and in such works as Fear And Trembling and The Book On Adler - addressed to a general audience - has the imaginative excitement and intense personal appeal of the greatest literature. Among his peers, only Plato and Nietzsche have matched his ability to give ideas so compellingly vivid and dramatic a shape.
