“For he who loves God without faith reflects on himself, while the person who loves God in faith reflects on God.”
Work
*Frygt og Bæven* er et filosofisk værk af Søren Kierkegaard, udgivet 16. oktober 1843 under pseudonymet Johannes de Silentio. Værket er en udvidet meditation over Mosebog 22, også kendt som Isaks binding. Kierkegaard forsøger at forstå Abrahams indre psykologiske tilstand under hans tre og en halv dag lange rejse til Moriah. Teksten forsøger at vise, hvordan det ikke er let at forstå Abrahams handlinger gennem etiske kategorier som Sittlichkeit eller det universelle. I stedet hævder Silentio, at Abraham kun kan forstås gennem en ny kategori kaldet tro.
