Kierkegaard Trumping Trump

Divinity Resurrecting Democracy

By: Curtis L. Thompson

We are now becoming numbed by the outrageous events taking place within the political arena of our country. Throughout our nation, the division between factions continues to hold firm. The issue of how movement toward reconciliation can occur has become ever more pressing. Nothing short of our democracy is at stake. This book looks to the writings of the nineteenth-century Danish religious philosopher Soren Kierkegaard as a resource for thinking in fresh ways about how the divine power of creative transformation is at work in the world. Through divinity's empowering of our practices in relating to others, democracy can be resurrected to a new, healthy life. Six important themes from Kierkegaard's thought are used to do a comparative examination of Donald Trump together with his world and Kierkegaard and his world. The story of this standoff--between one of the world's most famous and well-publicized figures and one of the world's greatest thinkers--constitutes a compelling investigation and presents quite a contrast. Uncovered in the storytelling process of Kierkegaard trumping Trump are the "Sweet 16": sixteen ways in which resurrection can be practiced in people's lives and help to restore our democracy to a fuller and more vibrant version of itself.

Between Hegel and Kierkegaard

Hans L. Martensen's Philosophy of Religion

By: Hans Martensen,Hans L. Martenson,Curtis L. Thompson,David J. Kangas

In the late 1830s and early 1840s Hans. L. Martensen (1808-1884) helped to introduce the thought of G.W.F. Hegel to the intellectual world of Copenhagen. Between Hegel and Kierkegaard offers the first English translations of three important early writings of Martensen in the philosophy of religion. These treatises evidence an original and critical interpretation of Hegel's thought from a speculative theological point of view. The heart of Martensen's philosophy of religion is the idea of freedom or personality grounded in its relation to the divine. These writings exercised an important and formative influence on the young Kierkegaard, Martensen's student, even though Kierkegaard later became a formidable opponent and critic of Martensen.

Following the Cultured Public's Chosen One

Why Martensen Mattered to Kierkegaard

By: Curtis L. Thompson

Soren Kierkegaard never shared the cultured public's enthusiasm for Hans Lassen Martensen, whom it identified as its chosen one. This volume examines the Kierkegaard-Martensen relationship, establishing ways in which the speculative theologian Martensen was a source for Kierkegaard's thought." "While these two never saw things eye-to-eye, and Kierkegaard's dislike for Martensen received expression in his writings, this spiteful ridicule and derision was directed toward one upon whom Kierkegaard was significantly dependent." "The development of Kierkegaard's intellectual life and work can be better grasped by investigating developments that Martensen himself was going through. The questions and issues preoccupying Martensen changed over the years, and these changes did not go unnoticed by Kierkegaard." "It is argued here that Kierkegaard followed Martensen's intellectual development very closely and that Martensen's shifting theological agenda in fact notably shaped the evolving agenda of Kierkegaard's own developing religious thought."--BOOK JACKET.

Ohio Confederate Connection

Facts You May Not Know About the Civil War

By: Curtis A. Early

In Ohio Confederate Connection, Curtis Early, descendent of Lt. General Jubal A. Early of the Confederate States of America, and his wife, Gloria, present facts about the Civil War that may not be widely known. Gloria and Curtis Early have been doing Civil War re-enactments for the past twenty years, in which Curtis portrays General Early and Gloria portrays a southern belle. They give talks at school, libraries, Civil War round tables, encampments, and other events on the significance of the Civil War. Additionally, they travel to many states to do the re-enactments, and they spend much of their time researching various topics related to the Civil War. In 2005, Curtis and his grandson Patrick walked down the Shenandoah Valley, traveling over 170 miles in twelve days. The ground that he covered represented the middle part of General Earlys famous march from Cold Harbor, Virginia, to the gates of Washington in 1864. Curtis has also walked from Hanging Rock, Virginia, to Winchester, Virginia, to raise money for the restoration of General Earlys house in Virginia, which dates to the late 1700s. Curtis and Gloria have written Ohio Confederate Connection together to help people better understand what really caused the Civil War (the War Between the States). Included is a list of recommended reading about the Civil War.

God and Nature

A Theologian and a Scientist Conversing on the Divine Promise of Possibility

By: Curtis L. Thompson,Joyce M. Cuff

The current religion and science dialogue begs for greater clarity on the relation of God to nature. In God and Nature two scholars who embrace contemporary insights from science and religion explore the complexities of this debate. As the narrative unfolds, classical and contemporary thinkers are engaged as discussion partners in articulating a philosophical theology of nature. Conceptual pairs, in which two concepts play off of each other, provide the structure for each of the seven chapters, with usually the first concept being more scientific in character and the second more religious in tone. These pairs of concepts-from chronology and creation to creativity and creator-help to thematize and structure the progressing narrative. Within each chapter the two concepts are first investigated independently, then interdependently, and finally in relation to the divine. At the story's completion nature has emerged as alive with possibility that is as alluring as the actuality it evokes. Envisioned is a divine Creator who works in and through the possibility of creation to lure it into fuller manifestations via creative transformation.
