Question 42 — Of the Object of Fear

We must now consider the object of fear: under which head there are six points of inquiry:

(1) Whether good or evil is the object of fear?

  • (2) Whether evil of nature is the object of fear?
  • (3) Whether the evil of sin is an object of fear?
  • (4) Whether fear itself can be feared?
  • (5) Whether sudden things are especially feared?
  • (6) Whether those things are more feared against which there is no remedy?
