The Oxford Library ~ Exploring Faith, Thought, and Scholarship

Søren Kierkegaard's Practice in Christianity - A Book Reflection

A Blessing for Study

May the God of wisdom grant you clarity,
May the Spirit of truth guide your thoughts,
May the light of Christ illuminate your understanding,
That in seeking knowledge, you may also find Him.

May your studies be an offering,
Your questions a path to wonder,
And your learning a means to love and serve.

Amen.

Dear financial partners, readers and fellow scholars,

Welcome once again to my Oxford study library—a glimpse into what I’m reading, learning, and reflecting on.

Each term, we are assigned two major theological works to engage with—a daunting task, considering generations of scholars have wrestled with their depths. With each book, we must submit an 800-word reflection, distilling its central themes and exploring its personal significance. There never seems to be enough time to immerse myself as deeply as I’d like, but I know these are books I will carry with me, returning to them again and again. If you’ve read Practice in Christianity, I hope my reflections resonate with you; if not, perhaps they’ll inspire you to explore it for yourself.

With blessings,

Jacqui
