Synopsis

The three outsiders are Blaise Pascal, Soren Kierkegaard, and Simone Weil. They were outsiders, because they distanced themselves from the institutional church of their respective eras. They felt that the Church failed to take seriously the profound and disturbing relationship with God which is in Christ Jesus. From their position "outside" they questioned the assumptions and understanding of their contemporaries. As creative theologians, these three each produced original but dificult writings which professor Allen has synthesized and interpreted for anyone who asks the question, "How am I to be a Christian?"
