Fear is not just a fundamental phenomenon in life, but the secret signature of a fun society that enjoys itself to death. This volume opens theological approaches to the phenomenon of fear and examines its ambivalence in an exegetical, systematic-theological and religious-pedagogical way. Every business is criticized with fear - especially if it happens in the name of Christianity! - as well as false promises of salvation for a fearless life. Faith, it is shown, is courage for fear that grows out of a final certainty that frees you from false fears.
