In Fear and Trembling Kierkegaard, writing under the pseudonym Johannes de silentio, expounds his personal view of religion through a discussion of the scene in Genesis in which Abraham prepares to sacrifice his son at God's command. Believing Abraham's unreserved obedience to be the essential leap of faith needed to make a full commitment to his religion, Kierkegaard himself made great sacrifices in order to dedicate his life entirely to his philosophy and to God. The conviction shown in this religious polemic - that a man can have an exceptional mission in life - informed all Kierkegaard's later writings, and was also hugely influential for both Protestant theology and the existentialist movement.

Alastair Hannay's introduction elucidates Kierkegaard's philosophy and the ways in which it conflicted with more accepted contemporary views. This edition also includes detailed notes to complement this groundbreaking analysis of religion, and a new chronology.

Um Herói Cristão É Um Herói Mudo

"Talk he cannot, he speaks no human language. Though he himself understood all the tongues of the world, though the loved ones understand them too - he still could not talk - he speaks a divine tongue - he 'speaks with tongues'."

Fé é o absurdo extremo do paradoxo.

Resignação absoluta é o primeiro movimento [resignação que qualquer herói trágico faz] mas, como um pêndulo, o movimento anterior é a certeza pela força do absurdo de recuperar o filho amado, o Isaque sacrificado no monte Moriah.

­Luke 14:26
[26] "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. "

E mesmo assim o esperado é que se faça o eterno caminho de volta.

"Hope is a passion for the possible."
