- "And God tempted Abraham and said unto him: take Isaac, thine only son, whom thou lovest and go to the land Moriah and sacrifice him there on a mountain which I shall show thee. Genesis 22:1"
Soren Kierkegaard wondered how Abraham made the movement of faith that made him the father of faith mentioned in the New Testament (Hebrews 11:17-19). Fear and Trembling is the product of his wonder. Work out your salvation in fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12). One-third of "Fear and Trembling" was translated in 1923 by Lee Hollander in the University of Texas Bulliten. This book has already been read in parts in the Short Nonfiction Collection but I think some might be interested in listening to it as a complete reading."
Narrated by Johannes De Silentio
Read this book in rehab. Changed everything.
Brilliant Søren Kierkegaard is such a rich blessing! Thank you for providing us all with this audio book.
He was just a man. And even intelligent men talk a lot of shit sometimes
@@thebigredwagon Thank you, I was at risk of thinking he was God Himself before reading your comment.
I hadn't even considered the fact that Abraham had to ride all that way on a donkey. Such a pace would have been slow enough to consider regret multiple times along the way! That point is a very well-made considering that it wasn't a simple single act of faith but multiple ones that he made every step along the way of this long journey. To resign oneself to such a choice so adamantly does speak on his resolve albeit towards a choice I wouldn't consider admirable.
To me, this is like a meditative writing exercise on non-attachment; the loss of something great with the understanding that the suffering can be surmounted. The "ask" of the sacrifice and the "faith in God" thereafter can perhaps be translated as: the coming up against the realization that all that is great - that you feel personally responsible for in this life - can and/or will be stripped away from you; so how will you respond?
I'm very sorry that it is like that to you.
The knight of faith is a dancer with high elevation
Is there any plan to have a reading of the rest of the book?
What an interesting book.
Abraham b wildin fr lmao
I'll add the poet is the master of memory to my notes later
The poet sings to prevent the hero from oblivion and is united with him thorugh that. Indeed why haven't I put that in my notes before
Anyway this book is so beautifull

Reminds me of C.S.Lewis.
I share the same opinion on Kierkegaard as Lewis... His existentialist philosophy is not as helpful as say, Aurieiles or Epictetus are to stoicism - but nonetheless undoubtedly worth of getting familiar with / understandably valuable.
@@liltick102 you can not trust your own understanding. One day everything you know will be obsolete. Even knowledge has an end. At one point the only thing that matters is did you have love. God is love.
@@johnemerick5860 true
This is some of the most ridiculous nonsense I've ever heard
Who asked.
Ok zoomer
Do you have a legit criticism? You’ve made a general comment.
I would really like to hear you elaborate
So much said of such little worth.
Bro Kierkegaard is literally the father of existentialism.
@@1deviousmama333 I didn’t get much from him. Unfortunately.
@@thebigredwagon yeah we know, you’re smarter than Soren Kierkegaard LOL
@@thebigredwagon you the type of person to bring a ruler to bed to see how long you slept
Kierkegaard is definitely confusing and not the easiest to just pick up. And although Fear and Trembling is one of his shorter works, it is not the best intro to his existential philosophy. Have you taken a look into Either/Or? Although it is anything but concise, it is one of the better was to understand Kierkegaard for someone who does not already know his philosophy.
