Recovering Christian Character, the Psychological Wisdom of Soring Kierkegaard

We're speaking with Robert C. Roberts, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Ethics at Baylor University. He is talking about his recent book, Recovering Christian Character, the Psychological Wisdom of Soring Kierkegaard. Is it so simple to say that he was trying to reform characters through the act of empathic reading, or would you say it in a different way? I think that your word empathy and empathic is very insightful, because Kierkegaard is able to get inside these characters in a way that is just extraordinary.
