Concept
Christian existentialism
Overview
Christian existentialism is a theophilosophical movement which takes an existentialist approach to Christian theology. The school of thought is often traced back to the work of the Danish philosopher and theologian Søren Kierkegaard (1813–1855) who is widely regarded as the father of existentialism, which would make it the original formulation of existentialism.
