Abstract
The question of faith is one of the main concerns for Kierkegaard. How can human being gain to a genuine and reliable faith? Can be found to believe in God through argument and reasoning? Does the direct connection is only way to communicate with God and become faithful? All of these are the most important issues that had been preoccupying Kierkegaard’s mind. Kierkegaard believes that the only way to communicate with God and become faithful is direct contact and devotion to God. The aim of this paper is to criticize and evaluate Kierkegaard’s view on this field.
