'Lippitt's text is exceptionally clear in explaining the background, central ideas, and major secondary literature on Fear and Trembling.' Michael Strawser, University of Central Florida, USA 'This is an excellent text. Lippitt gives due consideration to all parts of Fear and Trembling, including the early sections that are often neglected, and provides an insightful account and critical evaluation of the various ways in which Kierkegaard's notorious book has been interpreted.' Rick Anthony Furtak, Colorado College, USA 'A first-rate Kierkegaard scholar, Lippitt has a gift for conveying complex and difficult ideas in a clear, accessible way, which makes this book an ideal guide for undergraduate students and for other readers coming to Kierkegaard for the first time.' David Law, University of Manchester, UK 'John Lippitt is one of the top experts on Fear and Trembling in the English-speaking world. The many insights of his work are distilled here in a form that is accessible to undergraduates, yet also thought-provoking for more advanced scholars. This book is essential for any serious reader of Kierkegaard!' John Davenport, Fordham University, USA
