- Title
Anti-Climacus' Inverted Dialectic of Divine Grace and Human Activity.
- Authors

- Abstract
This article will show that the relationship between divine grace and human activity in the Anti-Climacus works should be understood as an inverted dialectic. Although Anti-Climacus communicates the strictness of Christianity and the importance of undertaking the Christian task, I will argue that the Anti-Climacus works are ultimately aimed at deepening the reader's understanding of grace. By exploring Anti-Climacus' accounts of human imagination and will in coming to faith and in the task of following Christ, it becomes clear that human activity ultimately reveals human beings' limitations and their dependence on grace.
