Melchizedek, Priest of God, Most High,
Possessor of Heaven and Earth,
Brought forth bread and wine and said,
“Blessed be Abram, thou art a priest forever
after the King of Salem’s Order!”

Slivers of Sǿren
Testaments to Truth
Stuart France
In his relatively short literary career, Danish philosopher, Sǿren Kierkegaard, challenged the religious orthodoxy of his age with a series of exquisitely penned philosophical works which he placed before the reading public under a plethora of different aliases.
All these writings addressed the spiritual concerns of his age and, on a broader note, questioned just what it means to be human. Losing the ability to think for ourselves, and to question the decisions of a ruling elite, for Kierkegaard, was a prelude to surrendering our very freedom as a people.
Recognising alarming parallels with our own times, and taking Kierkegaard’s classic, Fear and Trembling as a start, author and essayist, Stuart France, heads straight to the heart of the Jewish and Christian spiritual traditions with this poetic foray into high ideas…

The Western Mystery Tradition may never be the same again!
