But none of these authors, from Kierkegaard s point of view, has discovered the most important relationship, the
one thing needful: the relationship between the individual and God.

Don't know the book from which this Kierkegaardian observation comes but the use of the term "God" in K's thought is not a simple one. K's concept of God as the limit of the finite, the point at which one encounters death and unreasonable tragedy, is not an easy one for any culture, let alone contemporary American culture which works with a much more limited and benign conception of God.

Also K worked within a Hegelian framework, much as the early Marx did. So any serious understanding of the ways in which his concepts differed from our own would need to work through that difference.
