They both agreed on the importance of human subjectivity tho. It's interesting how they are both represented as being the "father's of existentialism" despite their contrast.

In his later years Kierkegaard did not. Subjectivity in following Christ and doing as he did; as in having a personal relationship with god whoch is subjective to others who follow Christ. Because Christ said nobody comes to the father except thru me.

Kierkegaard was quite against Christendom and Judaism. Both being anti-Christ which the former he critiqued in his 'Attack on Christianity' and the latter his journals and essays on Judaism which were kept hidden untiil at least two years ago.

Yeah, but this relation to the eternal/Christ or whatever is subjective to each person. What matters to Kierkegaard is the passion in which you follow your subjectivity.

It maintains that the New Testement is the truth and we can only know God through the Salvation of Jesus Christ. The way is subjective and we alone are responsible for following His way.

What matters to Kierkegaard is the passion in which you follow your subjectivity.

It has nothing to do with follwing your subjectivity absent of God and jesus. Follow His ways and we will be judged accordingly.

Kierkegaard was an avid advocate of Jesus who preached 'The Way.' Read his book 'Practice in Christianity.'
