Synopsis

Father in heaven! What is a man without Thee! What is all that he knows, vast accumulation though it be, but a chipped fragment if he does not know Thee! What is all his striving, could it even encompass a world, but a half-finished work if he does not know Thee: Thee the One, who art one thing and who art all!

'To read this book with care is to know oneself pursued by 'The Hound of Heaven.' 'Purity of Heart' is one of many books in which Kierkegaard sought to rescue the individual from 'massification' by compelling him to stand alone before God.' Howard A. Johnson in The Review of Religion'
