Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on two upbuilding discourses in Søren Kierkegaard's Late Works, translated by Karol Toeplitz. The sermons were included in For Self-Examination: Recommended to the Present Age (1851). The article first discusses the material dimension of the discourses, treating the sermon as a way to speak on a specific topic, taking the form of an annunciation of the truths of the faith. The second part is dedicated to the formal aspect of the upbuilding discourses and focuses on working with the text of the Scripture as well as on the process of the stylistic construction of the sermon.
