Kierkegaard says Hegel was wrong because he didn't protest against Abraham as the father of faith and call him a murderer.

Kiekegaard says, " Hegelian philosophy culminates in the thesis that the outer is the inner and the inner is the outer .” Abraham had to choose between the ethical requirements of his surroundings and what he regarded as his absolute duty to God.

He says of Abraham, " If the task had been different, if the Lord had commanded Abraham to bring Isaac up to Mount Moriah so that he could have his lightning strike Isaac and take him as a sacrifice in that way, then Abraham plainly would have been justified in speaking as enigmatically as he did, for then he himself could not have known what was going to happen.

Abraham protests that it is not just " to slay the righteous with the wicked ," and asks if the whole city can be spared if even ten righteous men are found there.

The description of Noah as " righteous in his generation " implied to some that his perfection was only relative: In his generation of wicked people, he could be considered righteous, but in the generation of a tzadik like Abraham, he would not be considered so righteous.

They point out that Noah did not pray to God on behalf of those about to be destroyed, as Abraham prayed for the wicked of Sodom and Gomorrah.

In a fuller description, when angels came to Abraham to tell him of the future punishment to be imposed on Sodom and Gomorrah, his wife, Sarah, " laughed, and We gave her good tidings of Isaac, and after Isaac of ( a grandson ) Jacob " ( XI: 71-74 ); and it is further explained that this event will take place despite Abraham and Sarah's old age.
