Alongside an argument for a new translation of the work’s title, it offers detailed textual commentary on a series of themes in \u003cem\u003ePractice in Christianity\u003c\/em\u003e, such as the person of Christ, contemporaneity, imitation, and Kierkegaard’s philosophy of history. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnti-Climacus, the pseudonymous author of \u003cem\u003ePractice in Christianity\u003c\/em\u003e, presents to his readers a uniquely challenging understanding of who Christ is and what it means to follow him. The Christ of Anti-Climacus is not the glorious Christ who abides with the Father in heaven, but the abased Christ who is poor, marginal, offensive, and persecuted. Throughout \u003cem\u003ePractice in Christianity\u003c\/em\u003e, we are called not only to perceive the abased Christ, but to follow after him. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Abased Christ aims to enrich historical theologians’ appreciation of Kierkegaard’s Christology. However, it concludes by grappling with questions of power, agency, and sacrifice which have been at the forefront of contemporary theology in the 20\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e and 21\u003csup\u003est\u003c\/sup\u003e centuries, thereby suggesting how we might make sense of Kierkegaard’s Christology today. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thomas J.
