I finished Tolstoy's Confession and now am reading Soren Kierkegaard's Fear and Trembling, a treatise about what must have gone through Abraham's mind when God spoke to him and commanded him to sacrifice Isaac. I'm not sure where it's going just yet, but the beginning sees the author trying to wrap his head around how Abraham could simply obey God in the matter, without any seemingly negative response on his part.
