Soren Kierkegaard published Fear and Trembling under the pseudonymn Johannes de Silentio in 1843. This is a selection from that book as translated by Lee M Hollander in 1923. Kierkegaard took a long look at Abraham, "the Father of faith" and wanted to know if he could follow in Abraham's footsteps.  I''ve included a quote from Kierkegaard's Concluding Unscientific Postscript at both the beginning and end  of the book.
