Reviews
"Bader-Saye has written a timely and provocative book concerning Christian resources of faith in a culture besot by fear. His diagnosis of a pervasive system of anxiety, rooted in Enlightenment reductionism, is on target; but more important is his assessment of the capacity of communitarian courage to act as a transformative alternative to fear. Bader-Saye draws upon compelling contemporary cases of such courageous action but shows, with equally compelling articulation, how such courage finally is deeply rooted in God's providence. His book is a bold theological exposition that has immediate and rich pastoral derivatives, all in the interest of an intentional church community acting congruently with its confession of faith."--Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Theological Seminary"Scott Bader-Saye offers us Christian practical wisdom we desperately need. Through insightful examples as well as rich biblical and theological analysis, Bader-Saye beautifully seduces us to trust God and to risk hospitality, peacemaking, and generosity. This is a profoundly hopeful, and hope-filled, book."--L. Gregory Jones, Duke Divinity School "What a marvelously lucid, engaging, and convincing book. Scott Bader-Saye singles out fear as the defining and largely self-imposed burden of our world. He diagnoses it with the aid of the great theologians and illustrates it from popular, personal, and political contexts. Not content with diagnosis, he offers a cure--cogent, compassionate, and Christian. This is an author who thinks with the practical wisdom of Aquinas and writes with an infectious zest. Here is a fresh voice to challenge and transform the anxieties of church and world."--Sam Wells, Duke University"Could it be that an account of providence is the key if we are to escape the fear that possesses Americans? Most would surely think an affirmative answer would be absurd. But that is exactly what Bader-Saye argues. He does so by providing an account of providence that does not promise safety but rather something far more important, that is, a way to go on with courage when we are not always able to 'make sense' of what has happened. His ability to help us 'see' our world through film and literature is itself a display of theological intelligence as rare as it is necessary."--Stanley Hauerwas, Duke Divinity School

A Very Timely Book!
My church is using this book as a guide for an adult education study group on Sunday mornings. We have read and discussed four chapters so far. The book offers a clear and helpful framework for evaluating fear in this anxiety-ridden day and age, when politics and marketing and twenty-four hour news coverage can make us hyper-aware of dangers that may or may not actually threaten us. The author discusses how we make fear into a virtue, the distinction between fearlessness and courage, and guidelines to help us "order" and evaluate our fears. Learning how to respond to fear without becoming completely constrained by it is definitely worth reading about and discussing!
