"Knight of Faith?" NOT!

Jarvis Streeter, author of newly published Human Nature, Human Evil and Religion: Ernest Becker and Christian Theology, extols Becker's choice of the heroic as Kierkegaard's "Knight of Faith." To my mind, though, there are significant problems with such a "hero." Even though Kierkegaard sees the KofF operating "outside" of the moral continuum (good), the KofF still expresses an obedience to the Absolute by virtue of which the KofF's actions don't fall under any judgment. Secondly, Kierkegaard (and Becker) acknowledge the rarity of any Knights of Faith but what Becker and Streeter don't acknowledge in their admiration of such heroics is this:

Only God is in a position to judge whether a person's actions are divinely inspired or demoniacal; to the rest of us, they may appear identical.

Thirdly, as I read it the Knight of Faith is still trapped by the in curvatus in se. So convinced of the "rightness" of his/her own actions by virtue of their own faith, the KofF can act without regard to the consequences which befall the neighbor.

Fourth, Kirkegaard's reading of the Abraham story is not from a "faith in Christ" perspective. Instead it flows from the generic religious pretention of "obedience and submission to the law." The postulate that Abraham was a "Knight of Faith" preserves the illusion of Abraham's "obedience" by his submission to a "higher law" than that which is expressed as service to the neighbor. From a "faith in Christ" perspective Abraham would have considered Isaac as a most intimate and innocent neighbor and refused to act on the tyrannical command of an absolute authority (God), being willing to take the consequences of such refusal upon himself rather than visit the consequences of obedience upon Isaac. The "Knight of Faith" then would not have resulted in perfect obedience to a command but in perfect confidence that God does indeed forgive sins (disobedience). Thus, God's "rescue" of Isaac is not a reward for Abraham's submission but a rescue of Abraham from his folly of thinking according to the law and not according to faith.
