A good time! The observation on making your son carry his own wood to his sacrifice reminded me that this part of the story is a type of Christ carrying his cross to Golgotha at his Father's behest.
I enjoyed this talk. I am a-gnostic and I am doing my own video essays on Fear and Trembling. Unsurprisingly I come away with many different perspectives (I am more comfortable calling Kierkegaard an existentialist) but I agreed with some stuff too. However (and I realise this was 3 years ago) I think one thing that was a clear mistake was to equate the KOIR and the T.Hero. They are two different characters, the Tragic Hero can "be mediated" (i.e. can communicate their purpose). The infinite resignation relates to the paradox of faith which is why it is a necessary precursor of faith.
He also said you should have anxiety though; so, Abraham accepted with faith, but he had anxiety and anguish over his decision. Anguish he says is crucial to faith.
Graeme is reading from the Penguin Classics version, which is translated by Alastair Hannay (it's reprinted now with a different cover, but it's the same translation). Thanks for listening!
