No one writes a book alone. In this case it took twenty-nine people. It is our editorial privilege to thank a few of those who have been especially helpful in bringing this work to the surface. Together, we want to sincerely thank all our contributors to this volume for their careful work and collaborative spirit, but mostly for their patience. We both always knew we wanted to dedicate this volume in part to Amy Laura Hall at Duke Divinity School, whose kindness, patience, and care has taught us both more than how to read Works of Love or Fear and Trembling—though that, too. Roberto would like to thank Donna Potts and M. Craig Barnes at Princeton Theological Seminary, Gordon Marino at the Hong Kierkegaard Library at St. Olaf College, and Jon Stewart at the Søren Kierkegaard Research Center at the University of Copenhagen for being such generous hosts as he conducted research for this volume. He would also like to thank his wife, Krista, for being the best study partner anyone could ever ask for. Silas would like to thank Kyle Roberts at United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities. First a teacher, then a mentor, and now a close friend, every page of this book was edited with their many testy conversations about Kierkegaard in mind. Memories of that first seminar on Kierkegaard and postmodern theology still ring fresh—and true. This volume is also dedicated to him in the hope that it leads to further disagreements. Kierkegaard was terribly unlucky in love, perhaps by choice and disillusioned stubbornness, but thankfully Silas has been more fortunate. He will be forever grateful for his little family.
