Fear and Trembling by Søren Kierkegaard

5.0

good lord, I fear I will never read something so profound that speaks of the Bible and the difficult questions it poses to the modern "Christian." Specifically, what does it mean to have faith, and how you must disregard both universalist ethics and aesthetics to hold Abraham up as a hero and not a kinslayer in thought, if not in deed. My only critique would be the constant references to Hegel that you must understand to get anything out of this book, as this work is a refutation of Christian Hegelians.
