Fear and Trembling's enigmatic weaning analogies have received a variety of interpretations, recently presenting them as analogizing the relationship between God, Abraham, and Isaac as mother, breast, and child-an insight offering fertile new discussions. Our interest is to continue developing this interpretation by highlighting the role of Isaac in Fear and Trembling, as he is often treated only marginally. Adopting this perspective reveals the importance Kierkegaard places on living faith. We argue the Akedah is a radical illustration of the transmission of faith and its reliance on faithful activity to inspire the appropriation of faith and subjective upbuilding.
