Adler, claimed to have experienced a revelation in which Christ dictated a new doctrine. Like many others, Kierkegaard was intrigued by Adler--but for different reasons than most. Over the eight years during which Kierkegaard worked on the manuscript, the phenomenon of Adler became a concern secondary to the larger question of authority. Kierkegaard revised the manuscript many times, and published a segment of it as \"The Difference between a Genius and an Apostle\" in \u003ci\u003eTwo Ethical-Religious Essays\u003c\/i\u003e, but did not publish the work as a whole before his death. The latest integral version of \u003ci\u003eThe Book on Adler\u003c\/i\u003e is included here, along with excerpts from the earlier drafts and a sampling of writing by Adler himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHoward V.
