Encountering Jesus Encountering Scripture

Personal, experiential faith is seldom given a seat at the table of academic theology and biblical studies. David Crump, however, with the assistance of Soren Kierkegaard’s religious philosophy, claims that “authentic understanding, and thus authentic Christian living, can only arise from the personal commitment that is faith.” Examining the various biblical, historical, cultural, theological, and academic hurdles demanding a truly Kierkegaardian leap of faith before meeting the resurrected Jesus, Standing at the Crossroads provides a careful discussion of key New Testament texts and issues revealing how Truth is discovered only through the subjectivity of faith.
