description: This paper considers the person and work of the Holy Spirit, in the transformation of believers, through the thought of Søren Kierkegaard. In recent research, Kierkegaard’s theology of transformation has been increasingly clarified, however, the role of the Holy Spirit has been difficult to ascertain. By exploring The Sickness & Practice, this paper seeks to illuminate the Spirit’s role in the theology of Anti-Climacus (Kierkegaard’s pseudonym). In addition, Anti- Climacus is brought into conversation with 2 Corinthians 3:17-18, incipient references to 2 Corinthians in Practice are shown to produce sustained reflection on the role of the Spirit in directing believers to Jesus and transforming their lives into a cruciform likeness. This exposition of Anti-Climacus makes possible a fuller Trinitarian account of transformation in the thought of Kierkegaard.
