In the profound words of Genesis 221, 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. This moment of divine challenge sparked Soren Kierkegaards exploration of faith, leading to his seminal work, Fear and Trembling. How did Abraham embody the essence of faith, as noted in Hebrews 1117-19? Kierkegaard delves deep into this question, urging us to work out your salvation in fear and trembling (Philippians 212). In this episode, we present a complete reading of one-third of Fear and Trembling, originally translated by Lee Hollander in 1923. While segments have appeared in the Short Nonfiction Collection, this complete version offers a fresh opportunity for those intrigued by Kierkegaards insights.
