Works of Love

Works of Love (Danish: Kjerlighedens Gjerninger) is a book by Søren Kierkegaard, written in 1847.

Having helped found Existentialism, he uses it and a high level of theology citing the scriptures of the Christian Bible.

Many chapters take a mention of love from the New Testament and center reflections about the transfer of individuals from secular modes (the stages of the aesthetic and ethical) to genuine religious experience and existence.

Kierkegaard as a Christian ethicist (represented by this work) is likely to be considered distinct from many ways in which the religion's mainstream seems to function from the viewpoint of an outside observer.

This is not only a function of Christian existentialism but also of his time period and political events occurring in his native Denmark.
