In Works of Love, Kierkegaard presents a thorough analysis of the Christian concept of religious love, and discusses how this love believes all things, yet is never deceived, hopes all things, yet is never put to shame. In this work, Kierkegaard seems to speak of religious trust both as prior and subsequent to judgment. This chapter examines this work more closely in order to get at the issue of the rationality of religious trust. It also examines Kierkegaard speaks of religious trust, or love, as prior to judgment. The chapter elucidates how it is that religious trust is both discerning and responsible. It discusses Kierkegaard endeavors to show how the religious conception of trust is neither childish, nor foolish, nor irrational. The chapter addresses the question of whether religious trust is religious trust prior to judgment. Thus, placing one's trust in God is shown in one's values, the way faith is shown in one's life.
