All Episodes - Fear and Trembling (selections)

In the gripping narrative of Genesis 221, God tests Abraham, asking him to sacrifice his beloved son Isaac. This profound moment ignited Søren Kierkegaards exploration of faith, leading to the creation of his seminal work, Fear and Trembling. How did Abraham embody the essence of faith celebrated in the New Testament (Hebrews 1117-19)? Kierkegaards reflections challenge us to consider our own beliefs and the nature of faith itself. Drawing from Philippians 212, he invites us to work out your salvation in fear and trembling. This selection features a translation by Lee Hollander from 1923, previously shared in parts within the Short Nonfiction Collection. Now, listeners can experience the entirety of this thought-provoking text. (Summary by Craig Campbell)
