    Sammanfattning : The aim of this paper is to investigate what it means to call oneself a Christian according to Søren Kierkegaard's Concluding Unscientific Postscript, so as to shed new light on this important question. For there needs to be an agreement between the Christian's "what" and "how", between what he proclaims as his doctrine of faith and how this faith manifests in his life, if the designation of Christian is not to lose its fundamental value.
