page 253 note 3 To epitomize a great author is always difficult, and sometimes shameful; the more so the greater the author. A man may well hesitate therefore to epitomize Kierkegaard, of whom Reinhold Niebuhr writes (Nature and Destiny of Man, p. 195): “Kierkegaard's analysis of the relation of anxiety to sin is the profoundest in Christian thought.”

page 253 note 4 Just as Angst lies behind Fortvivelse, so the subject matter of The Concept of Dread lies behind that of Sickness unto Death. The latter deals with the despair which is sin, the former with Original Sin, which lies behind, and is the history of, actual sin.
