Kierkegaard’s conception of faith was not congruent with the mainstream view held by most religious people. Kierkegaard has been known as the "Christian Socrates" because of the way he challenged traditional beliefs like Socrates did. Kierkegaard’s faith is one of an individualistic re-choosing of faith in the impossible. Kierkegaard thought that many Christians held an inauthentic faith that relied on doctrine and obedience.

Paul’s understanding of νόμος is at the center of scholarly disputes. Paul’s use of νόμος seems to have a contradiction because of negative use in some places(3:20‚ 28; 4:13; 5:20; 6:14; 7:4‚5‚6‚7; 8:3; 10:4) and his positive use in other places(3:31; 7:10‚12‚14‚16‚25; 8:4; 13:8‚ 10).

There was no real background to speak of‚ just a single vanishing line that merely allowed the viewer to differentiate between the floor and the blank wall behind her. In short‚ it was merely
