About this Quote

This quote by Søren Kierkegaard speaks to the idea of faith and belief. He is recommending that due to the fact that we can not completely understand or understand God objectively, we need to think in Him. This is since our limited understanding of the divine avoids us from being able to fully grasp it. He is suggesting that faith is necessary in order to genuinely understand God, as it is just through faith that we can come to a deeper understanding of the divine. This quote speaks with the concept that faith is a vital part of understanding the divine, and that without it, we can not genuinely understand the divine. It is just through faith that we can concern a much deeper understanding of the divine, and it is this faith that allows us to have a relationship with God.
