While the article was published in German, an English abstract has been provided: "Schreckensgespenster: Überlegungen zur politischen Theologie der Angst nach Kierkegaard, Heidegger und Hobbes" ("Boogeymen: Reflections on the political theology of fear according to Kierkegaard, Heidegger and Hobbes"; my translation), by Tobias Nikolaus Klass (University of Wuppertal), appeared in the inaugural issue 0 of the "Zeitschrift für Medien- und Kulturforschung" ("Journal of Media and Cultural Research"; 2009: pp. 103-18).

Quote: "This essay deals with the question which kind of fear it is that terror plays with, or which kind of fear terror tries to generate. ... In the foreground of this identification stand the residues of political theology which nourish political terror."
