KierkegaardFrygt og Bæven
Danish · Søren Kierkegaard
Three days to Moriah, and the riddle of faith.
The opening, set exactly as it reads in the app.
Kierkegaard takes the three days of Abraham’s walk to Mount Moriah and refuses to let us look away. Fear and Trembling is philosophy written like scripture and felt like a wound: what manner of faith lifts the knife over a son, and what manner of God demands it? Against every comfortable ethics he sets the solitary, appalling figure of the knight of faith, and dares us to comprehend him. Nothing else has thought so hard about what it costs to believe.
