Much like philosophy and psychology, theology also deals with the phenomenon of fear, each field of study defining it in their own way. What they all share is the understanding of fear as a deeply human phenomenon, affecting man in his entirety and diminishing his abilities. This study aims to present a theological approach to understanding fear, including elements of a therapy that promises man’s liberation from fear. Tomislav Ivančić classifies fear as a spiritual illness affecting both man’s body and soul. This realm of the spirit is healed by a transcendental power rather than by man, and it is precisely this what makes his hagiotherapy special. The therapy seeks to heal both the source and the cause of fear and to equip man for a new life, a life in trust that Ivančić sets against a life in fear. The presented theological method is underpinned by theoretical tenets and emerges from practice. The authors point out its potential contributions in today’s age of increased care for personal health. The study, which is the first of its kind to have been done in relation to this topic, used the hermeneutical approach of interpreting texts within their given context.

Artykuł omawia i analizuje historię Abrahama i egzystencjalne implikacje, które z niej wypływają. W opinii autora historia ta ukazuje trzy szczególnie ważne aspekty: zbawienie jako wyzwolenie od lęku, głęboką wolność płynącą z takiego doświadczenia i posłuszeństwo Bogu jako przekroczenie tego, co rozumowo poznawalne. Wszystkie te (powiązane z sobą) aspekty życia chrześcijańskiego są niezwykle ważne. Dziś, kiedy kultura jest w przeważającej mierze antychrześcijańska, przekazuje i promuje anty chrześcijańskie wzorce i wartości, jest szczególnie istotne, żeby wiara była wiarą odważną.

The article reviews and analyses the history of Abraham and its existential implications. The author claims that the story reveals three particularly important aspects: the salvation as liberation from fear, deep freedom resulting from that experience and obedience to God as exceeding what is impossible to understand. All these interrelated aspects of Christian life are truly essential. Since modern culture seems to be predominantly and increasingly anti Christian and it shows and promotes anti Christian values and patterns of behaviour, it is particularly important for the faith to be a brave one.
