Description: The Christian theology of N.F.S. Grundtvig (1783-1872) is based on the principle that humankind, created in God's image, has retained a divine spark of that image, which can welcome God's gift of grace and salvation. 'Human Comes First' illustrates this principle through a selection of Grundtvig's articles, teachings, sermons, letters and speeches from half a century of his theological activity. As part of its agenda to digitalise and translate Grundtvig's vast output, the Grundtvig Study Centre at Aarhus University is pleased to publish this third volume in the series 'N.F.S. Grundtvig: Works in English'. Volume 1. The School for Life (2011, ISBN 9788771240023), contains Grundtvig's major writings on education, and Volume 2. Living Wellsprings (2015. ISBN 9788771247947) contains a selection of his hymns, songs, and poems. Future volumes will deal with his politics and his philosophy.
