wikipedia has some great stuff, and if you want it from his words themselves, I bet there's a wikiquote

I like this guys YT videos, he does a good job and gives a solid overview of various philosophers.

I like to start by watching a few lectures on YT to try and understand different philosophers ideologies. For once its generally helpful to read the comments as well because some times people point out errors and give counter arguments. Good luck

The meme is to start with Fear and Trembling. Then to peruse summaries when choosing the next works.

Third party studies, guides, and summaries are also helpful if you want to try to just get to the heart of his works. An outsider interpretation is. helpful for understanding the characters he writes as.

Read Fear and Trembling then the Auden selected Kierkegaard then whatever tickles your fancy from that, probably Either/Or or The Sickness Unto Death

Start with Either/Or.

Does anyone have any secondary lit that they like? Perhaps something like the Cambridge companion?

Read his doctoral thesis: "on the concept of irony with continual reference to Socrates

I'd tell you to go after "Fear and Trembling" or his Fragments of Johannes Climacus

How well-read do I need to be in the bible before beginning with Fear and Trembling?

Eh, you ought to have at least read the episode of Abraham and Isaac. The more the better, though.
