- Abstract:
  The article discusses how the usage of the term "knight of faith" by Miguel de Unamuno for his account of the character Don Quijote in Vida de Don Quijote y Sancho has linked Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes Saadvedra with the Danish philosopher and theologian Søren Kierkegaard. The use of the term knight of faith reflected the reading of the Fear and Trembling of Kierkegaard. It is also noteworthy that Unamuno equates Abraham and Don Quijote.
