ABSTRACT
Kierkegaard and Post-War Theology, a book by Sandor Koncz, was published in 1938 by the University of Debrecen as the third volume of the series Studies of Systematic Theology and its Auxiliary Sciences. Although the book's title suggests a study in the history of reception, it is much more than that. This book is significant both for Kierkegaard research and history of theology. The first part of the long introductory chapter is an excursus, in which the author tries to outline the issues of Platonic subjectivism and Aristotelian objectivism, followed by Kierkegaard's epistemology. The spiritual-historical journey continues with the author presenting the circumstances of the development of the Kierkegaardian renaissance. Koncz specifically outlines how the ideas named by the contradictory pairs enter into conflict with the failed theologies of previous ages. Koncz names Sandor Tavaszy, Bela Vasady, Erno Matyas, and Laszlo Ravasz among those theologians, who transmitted valuable Kierkegaardian ideas to students of all four Hungarian Reformed Theological Faculties.
