What does Kierkegaard mean when he explains the role of the knight of infinite having movements of infinity?

Question

i'm reading fear and trembling, and trying to understand how he regarded abraham as possessing these qualities through faith. thanks

Answer 1

The only path to redemption is 'to jump into the open arms of the living God', as abraham done. Abraham had faith in God (knight of infinite) and surrendered all things to him (movement of infinity-his action, through faith)

Answer 2

I haven't read F&T, but ignorance never stopped me before, so . . .

When God ordered Abraham to murder his own son by his own hand, He was asking him to commit an act that must have been considered the ultimate in immorality and unethical...ness by any society or standard.  But Abraham was 100% set to do it simply because it was God who told him to.  His faith was that absolute (meaning without limit, thus infinite).

A man like Abraham would do a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g God asked him to without hesitation, no matter how unjust, painful, or horrendous.  Just as a knight would jump into a suicidal fray if his king asked him to.

Take it for what it's worth.
