This thinker listed hubris, concupiscence, and unbelief as the three hallmarks of estrangement. He posited that humankind's essential state is one of "dreaming innocence" and unfulfilled potential, and that the Fall of Adam and Eve is a myth representing the act of freedom becoming actual. In one book, he distinguished between three types of anxiety according to the ways in which nonbeing threatens being or self-affirmation. He defined faith as the state of being (*) "ultimately concerned," and dismissed the historicity of Jesus as irrelevant, instead stressing Jesus as the Christ as the bearer of "New being." This thinker's magnum opus pairs questions of human existence with theological answers according to his "method of correlation." For 10 points, name this author of The Courage to Be and Systematic Theology, a German-born theologian who blended Christianity with existentialism.
