Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

AbrahamÆs unreserved submission to GodÆs will provides the focus for this religious and ethical polemic. Originally written under the pseudonym of Johannes de Silentio, this is a key work in the psychology of religious belief.

Synopsis:

Different facets of Kierkegaard's thought are presented to the reader in this book. Without disclosing his own beliefs Kierkegaard confronts the reader with various ethical and religious attitudes, but leaves the responsibility of choice open.
