Purity of the heart is to will one thing

spiritual preparation for the office of confession
Book • 1961
Søren Kierkegaard's "The Purity of Heart is to Will One Thing" delves into the complexities of faith and the human condition.

Kierkegaard emphasizes the importance of single-mindedness in one's devotion to God, arguing against divided loyalties and the pursuit of worldly desires.

The book explores the concept of a 'fractured will,' where individuals are torn between their commitment to God and their pursuit of earthly gains.

Kierkegaard challenges readers to examine their motivations and to strive for a pure, undivided devotion to God. His work remains influential in theological and philosophical circles.
