Casey Spinks has given us a rich and illuminating theological guide to Kierkegaard's vision of what it means to be. Beautifully crafted, Kierkegaard's Ontology: The Faith to Be shows how Kierkegaard draws our attention beyond abstract speculation into the lived reality of faith. The result is a study that is both rigorous and edifying-one that, if read faithfully, should inspire a kind of constructive theological reflection that has much to offer the Church today.

In his sparkling and engaging new study, Casey Spinks deftly and persuasively shows that ontology-meaning the study of 'being'-illuminates basic and everyday experiences of life. He then goes on to also show how, guided by Kierkegaard, it can reveal the fundamental joy of existing. A brilliant new study that confirms Kierkegaard as a significant dialogue partner for thinking about what it is to be human.
