Soren Kierkegaard
It was not to save a nation that Abraham went to sacrifice Isaac, nor to appease angry gods... Then why does Abraham do it? For God's sake...

Soren Kierkegaard
The object of (Christian) faith is not the teaching but the Teacher.
Soren Kierkegaard
If you think you understand, it isn't God.
Soren Kierkegaard
