'''Søren Kierkegaard''' (1813-1855) was an influential [[Danish]] [[Christian]] philosopher whose work set the foundations for the [[existentialist]] movement of the [[20th century]]. Kierkegaard was supportive of the Christian [[religion]], but rejected [[Christendom]], the applied Christianity of his day. Kierkegaard claimed that [[Christendom]] of 19th century Europe strayed from the values of [[Jesus]] and declared that "official Christianity is not the Christianity of the [[New Testament]]".<ref>Kierkegaard, "Attack Upon Christendom"</ref> He called for Christians to embrace a life-affirming view of the world, rather than a [[conservative|false]] Christianity that provided easy comforts and wretched contentment. Kierkegaard's thoughts were taken in liberal directions with [[Karl Barth]]'s [[neo-orthodoxy]] and [[Jean Paul Sartre]]'s [[existentialism]].
