The Lily of the Field and the Bird of the Air: Three Godly Discourses

Synopsis

A masterful new translation of one of kierkegaard's most engaging worksin the sermon on the mount, jesus tells his followers to let go of earthly concerns by considering the lilies of the field and the birds of the air. Søren kierkegaard's short masterpiece on this famous gospel passage draws out its vital lessons for readers in a rapidly modernizing and secularizing world. Trenchant, brilliant, and written in stunningly lucid prose, the lily of the field and the bird of the air (1849) is one of kierkegaard's most important books.
