摘要：

In Practice in Christianity, Soren Kierkegaard's pseudonym, Anti-Climacus enters into an extended engagement with Matthew 11.6, 'Blessed is he who takes no offense at me'. In so doing, he comes to an understanding that 'the possibility of offense' characterises the 'crossroad' at which one either comes to faith in Christ's revelation or rejects it. Such a choice, as he is well aware, cannot be made from a neutral standpoint, and so he is led to propose that it is 'the thoughts of the heart' (i.e. a person's disposition) that constitute the pivotal factor in determining whether or not God will reconcile a person into the Christian faith. In this paper, I discuss Anti-Climacus' interpretation of Mt. 11.6 and consider his reasons for interpreting a person's predisposition as being so decisive for faith.
