Where can I get pieces of writing in two languages for learning pusposes? Is there a name for this? Looking for English/French.

maybe this guy can save you?

I lost my touch with Christianity, I have lost my faith.
What are some intellectual approaches to Christianity one can look up ? Would reading Kierkegaard get me interested in it again ?

I know that this thread has absolutely no contribution to this board whatsoever, but I just checked out an anthology of Soren Kierkegaard's work. I've been wanting to begin on his work for some time now, and I was wondering what a good beginning point is.

Interesting. Please explain m0ar.

>When someone surrenders to despair because the world or another person has faithlessly left him betrayed, what then is his fault (his innocent suffering is not referred to here) except not loving himself in the right way? When someone self-tormentingly thinks to do God a service by torturing himself, what is his sin except not willing to love himself in the right way? And if, alas, a person presumptuously lays violent hands upon himself, is not his sin precisely this, that he does not rightly love himself in the sense in which a person ought to love himself? Oh, there is a lot of talk in the world about treachery, and faithlessness, and, God help us, it is unfortunately all too true, but still let us never because of this forget that the most dangerous traitor of all is the one every person has within himself. This treachery whether it consists in selfishly loving oneself or consists in selfishly not willing to love oneself in the right way – this treachery is admittedly a secret. No cry is raised as it usually is in the case of treachery and faithlessness. But is it not therefore all the more important that Christianity’s doctrine should be brought to mind again and again, that a person shall love his neighbor as himself, that is, as he ought to love himself? … You shall love – this, then is the word of the royal Law.

>mfw I'm Kierkegaard whose hair is more fabulous than all of yours.

You guys say you can find any book online, but I've been unable to find Hannay's translations of Kierkegaard, which are the most accepted and distributed translations of Kierkegaard.

I guess for more popular authors such as Dostoevsky I have been able to find all his works along with the translation I wanted, but I guess far less people are willing to move Kierkegaard's works to electronic form.

I think in this case then, paper buyers win.

Where should I start with Kierkegaard. I'm wishing to keep a collection, so I'd prefer not to read an abridged versions of his works. I'm just looking for what books and translation/publisher I should go with.
