Fear and Trembling

by Soren Kierkegaard Narrated by Ron Welch

Overview

Fear and Trembling is a philosophical work by Soren Kierkegaard, published in 1843. The title is a reference to a line from Philippians 2:12, "...continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling." - itself a probable reference to Psalms 55:5.

Kierkegaard wanted to understand the anxiety that must have been present in Abraham when "God tested him and said to him, take Isaac, your only son, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah and offer him as a burnt offering on the mountain that I shall show you." Abraham had a choice to complete the task or to refuse to comply with God's orders.

Editorial Reviews

NOVEMBER 2018 - AudioFile

Philosophy is often presented in a dry and dull manner, but that isn’t the case when it’s delivered by narrator Mark Meadows. In this version of Kierkegaard's masterpiece, Meadows uses good pacing to give the listener an intricate treatment of the biblical story of Isaac's near sacrifice by his father, Abraham, and what this story may mean in the realm of faith in a higher power. Meadows's narration makes exploring Kierkegaard's philosophy a joy to experience, especially if one has had a difficult time getting into reading from the text directly. Meadows's British accent in this delightful production will make listeners feel as if they are reading philosophy at Oxford or Cambridge. V.B. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
