SOREN KIERKEGAARD
FEAR AND TREMBLING
Fear and Trembling (in the translations of Dr. Walter Lowrie, with revisions by Dr. Howard Johnson), were called by Kierkegaard himself “the most perfect books I have written.”
Fear and Trembling analyzes, with an almost inhumanpassion and intesity, the significance, in Kierkegaard’s terms, of the biblical story of the sacrifice of Isaac, and introduces us to a crucial idea for modern existentialism, the “absurd.”

FAITH + OBEDIENCE
Soren Kierkegaard (1819-55) is now generally recognized as the greatest religious thinker of the nineteenth century; he remained obscure so long because his violent attack on the efforts of nineteenth-century theologians to “rationalize” religion and link it with progress and sciences was not in harmony with the times; and (probably) because he wrote in Danish. In recent years, almost all his books have been translated into English-and they include brilliant writing on philosophy, aesthetics, ethics, and psychology, as well as works on religion and theology-and he has become the principal source for contemporary existentialist philosophy, whether religious or irreligious.
