A review by toryw
Fear and Trembling by Søren Kierkegaard

4.0

this was crazy dude. got me doing all kinds of metal gymnastics. if you’ve ever considered ethics, morality, and the divine, this will REALLY give you something to think about. kierkegaard grapples with the story of abraham sacrificing his son and how, to most, that just makes so sense at all. was he a murderer or the revered father of faith? he explores in a mind melting way what it means to have complete faith, using the story of abraham as a guide, and uses the concept of “the absurd” to tie it all together. maybe one day i’ll be a knight of faith for reading this
