This is a study about the concept of suspense, and about Søren Kierkegaard's Frygt og Bæven (hereafter “FB”). The study outlines a novel, philosophical conception of suspense, it then demonstrates that suspense, so understood, is a central feature of the concept of faith outlined in FB and, furthermore, a central feature of how FB is rhetorically composed. The study argues, therefore, that suspense is central to both how FB describes faith, and to how this description textually unfolds: in other words, that a symmetry of suspense exists between the conceptual and the rhetorical.
