15 - To Need God is a Human Being's Highest Perfection

In the previous episode, we concluded our study of Kierkegaard's The Concept of Anxiety. In this episode, in preparation for moving into The Sickness unto Death, we discuss Kierkegaard's relatively short discourse, To Need God is a Human Being's Highest Perfection, in which he argues just that. In this approachable, fairly straightforward discourse, he lays out some of the ideas that will be discussed in more detail and with more difficulty in The Sickness unto Death.

At the end, I make another call for submissions to the show's upcoming Tolkien Reading Day episode. After I recorded this, I set up a speakpipe account to make the process easier, so you can either e-mail your recording or go to speakpipe.com/mythicmind.

I also make some recommendations, which you can find here:
