Abstract

AbstractFundamental in Kierkegaard is passion for equality among persons, and this in a double sense: passion-“desire”- for equality, but also passion for-“for the sake of”-equality. Now, if the ethical and religious are of inestimable importance in human life, then justice demands that potential for them be equally accessible to all. But how? All are so differentiated. In what can equal potential be rooted, if not in passion? Enter the Christian faith, however, and an enormous problem, anchored precisely in Kierkegaard’s concern to take seriously the specificity of Christianity, arises: No passion can produce Jesus; so how can Jesus and equality be brought together? Can they be brought together?
