Synopsis

Focusing on Hegel, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Buber, Heidegger, and Sartre and their passionate commitment to the authenticity of the self, this book maintains that Existentialism has much to say to Christians with its understanding of the manner in which radical commitment forges and forms that "self," which is nothing less than a new birth.
