The levels of life and morality are:
1. Aesthetic - lowest
2. Ethical - mid range
3. Faith - the highest

S/K uses the story of Abraham and Isaac to illustrate his theory, "The Leap Into Faith."
It was the result of Abraham following God's command to kill his son, Isaac.
Abraham makes a leap (of or to) infinite faith toward God. But, given the tremendous dangers of error (either being deceived or self-deceiving) this act can only be done in fear and trembling, in awesome dread and terror of error, only in an infinite leap of faith in God.
S/K holds that Abraham was, therefore, the first man of faith. It is a level you transcend into by way of the leap.
