"No one has explored Fabro's appropriation of Kierkegaard in depth. Furnal's recovery of Fabro's thought is thorough, compelling, and important. In this regard, the book has no rival." —Lee C. Barrett, author of Kierkegaard on God's Will and Human Freedom"If you have ever simply assumed that an impasse between Thomists and Kierkegaard is inevitable, then you need to read this book." —Joel D. S. Rasmussen, author of Between Irony and Witness
