I am, indeed, far from
agreeing with those who think all religious fear barbarous and degrading and
demand that it should be banished from the spiritual life. Perfect love, we know, casteth out fear [1 John
4:18]. But so do several other things --
ignorance, alcohol, passion, presumption, and stupidity. It is very desirable that we should all
advance to that perfection of love in which we shall fear no longer; but it is
very undesirable, until we have reached that stage, that we should allow any
inferior agent to cast out our fear.
-- C. S. Lewis in The World's Last Night
