fear and trembling by soren kierkegaard

it's been a while since i last read any book about faith, and this book has got to be one of the best that illustrates how faith (or having faith) works. i read the quran sporadically and sometimes i am still not clear of what the mechanism is (which i think those are explored by the various imams writing on the subject) - but this book explores the mechanism of faith through scenarios of abraham taking isaac to offer his to slaughter in the name of god. 

a friend said this book is as religious as an athiest could get, but i learn a thing a or two about faith that i haven't learn elsewhere (and grudgingly questioning why hari raya haji sermon hasn't yet discuss the concept of korban this way).
