- Title
Comparing Genres: The Woman Who Was a Sinner in Kierkegaard's Three Discourses at the Communion on Fridays and An Upbuilding Discourse.
- Authors
Walsh, Sylvia
- Abstract
This essay undertakes a comparison of KierkegaardÌs communion and upbuilding discourses on the biblical figure of the woman who was a sinner in Luke 7:37-50 as a test case for determining the uniqueness of the communion discourses as a category or genre in their own right. While showing that there is considerable thematic overlap between the two discourses, perhaps due in part to the fact that the upbuilding discourse was originally conceived as a communion discourse, it identifies a number of distinguishing features of the communion discourses that establish their importance as a separate genre in the Kierkegaardian corpus.
