Fear and Trembling (original Danish title: Frygt og Bæven) is a philosophical work by Søren Kierkegaard, published in 1843 under the pseudonym Johannes de silentio (Latin for John of the Silence). The title is a reference to a line from Philippians 2:12 , which says to “continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling.”

The knight of faith (Danish: troens ridder) is an individual who has placed complete faith in himself and in God and can act freely and independently from the world.

Soren Kierkegaard, Fear and Trembling 1843, Hong p. 66-67 The object of faith is the actuality of another person; its relation is an infinite interestedness.

Kierkegaard published Fear and Trembling, Three Upbuilding Discourses, 1843 and Repetition all on the same date, the date being October 16, 1843. Abraham was the main character in Fear and Trembling and the Three Upbuilding Discourses, all about love. Repetition presents a noticeable contrast between the other two books that is nearly comical.
In Fear and Trembling Abraham had to choose to follow God or call him a monster. In Repetition the Young Man had to choose to get married or to follow his love of writing. Both were "imaginative constructions" [ 21 ] created by Kierkegaard that dealt with hope and love .
The same day that he published Repetition he published Fear and Trembling which showed Abraham as an individual who was alone with God as he considered whether to follow his commands. He continued writing until he came to the concrete human being named Christ and wrote about the joy there is in following Christ.
