Fear and Trembling - Soren Kierkegaard

Fear and Trembling – Søren Kierkegaard 

Fear and Trembling by Søren Kierkegaard is a foundational text in existential philosophy and one of the most profound examinations of faith ever written. Through a striking retelling of the biblical story of Abraham and Isaac, Kierkegaard explores the tension between ethical duty and religious devotion, arguing that true faith requires a personal, inward “leap” that defies rational explanation. This Penguin Great Ideas edition presents the work in a beautifully crafted, type-driven format that celebrates timeless philosophical writing. A challenging and deeply moving meditation on sacrifice, obedience, and the individual’s relationship with God, this book remains essential for readers of philosophy and theology.
