Shane R. Cudney received his PhD from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Netherlands (in a joint program with The Institute for Christian Studies in Toronto, Canada).
"Who can deny that Fear and Trembling looms large in the
Kierkegaardian imagination? Many readers assume that this is
Søren's last and best word on faith. But it is not his last word,
or his best word. It is not even his word. Cudney dwells with this
text, wrestling above all with the challenges posed by the
pseudonymous authorship. He knows that the pseudonymous nature is
not peripheral to the book. It is the key to its successes and its
failures. Cudney combines intellectual rigor with personal
engagement, pointed critique with generosity of spirit. He is
existentially invested in the world of Fear and Trembling and its
authorship. Surely, the Master would be proud."
--Stephen Backhouse, author of Kierkegaard's Critique of Christian
Nationalism and Kierkegaard: A Single Life
