In This Excerpt from His Famous Concluding Unscientific Postscript, Kierkegaard

In this excerpt from his famous Concluding Unscientific Postscript, Kierkegaard declares that faith is the highest virtue, far superior to reason. The latter can render belief in God only a barren probability, a dry uncertainty or approximation; but the former gives you a deeply fulfilling subjective certainty. This risky "leap of faith" requires an utmost act of will-an extreme passion-to believe what cannot otherwise be believed, to believe what is absurd. Great absurdities (such as Christianity's central story, says Kierkegaard) require great, passionate faith, and such faith is "the highest truth there is for an existing human being."
-Kierkegaard says that when the eternal truth is related to an existing individual, truth becomes a paradox.
