Abstract
By the spring of 1843, Kierkegaard’s Christology had changed fundamentally: he now attributed paradoxicality to the person of Jesus Christ. This essay presents a critical reconsideration of two of the most influential attempts within Kierkegaard research-those of Hayo Gerdes and Hermann Fischer-to explain the roots and background of Kierkegaard’s paradox Christology. Against these views, this essay will argue that the project undertaken in Kierkegaard’s Climacus writings had a different starting-point, namely, his reading of David Friedrich Strauss’ Christian Doctrine [Glaubenslehre].
