Book excerpt: Paul Tillich, forced into exile by the Nazis in 1933, settled in the United States. His many theological works and especially his three volume Systematic Theology have had a profound influence upon contemporary religious thought. This volume concentrates on the key texts and ideas in Tillich's thought. It presents the essential Paul Tillich for students and the general reader. Taylor's introductory essay and notes on the selected texts set Tillich in his historical context, chart the development of this thought and indicate the significance of his theology in the development of Christian theology as a whole. Substantial selections from Tillich's work illustrate key themes: --The struggle for a new theonomy --Protestant theology amid socialist crisis --In the sacred void: being and God --Amid structures of destruction: Christ as new being --Among the ambiguities of life: Spirit and churches --In the end: revisioning and hope

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By taking seriously Tillich's claim to be a confessional Church theologian rather than a metaphysician with religious interests, this carefully ordered study gains a fresh perspective on the structure of argument upon which his theological enterprise rests. Scriptural material is shown to control his judgments in much the same way that literature controls those of the literary critic--a particularly illuminating comparison in view of his argument that the verbal icon provided by the biblical picture of Jesus as the Christ bears analogia imaginis to the historical Jesus and hence provides the sole access to the original Christian revelation. Tillich's movement from symbols as data to theological judgments as conclusions is seen to be warranted, not by his ontology, but by his presentation of the phenomenology of revelatory events. Though historical study of Jesus and of the Bible is in principle irrelevant to this use of scripture, his confusions in this area are examined, and the structural flaws in his accounts of the biblical picture of Jesus are shown to yield a Christian theology in which Christology is oddly dispensable. Finally, his discussion of God is used as a test case for the analysis of the general structure of his argument, and the various sorts of conclusions that he feels Scripture authorizes him to draw are cogently appraised.

Book excerpt: The relationship between religion and modern culture remains a controversial issue within Christian theology. Using the concept of “cultural modernity,” Francis Ching-Wah Yip reconstructs Paul Tillich’s interpretation of modernity and shows that Tillich’s notion of theonomy served to underscore the problems of modernity and to develop a response.

Book excerpt: Pomeroy gives the reader a clear view of the Systematic Theology of Paul Tillich, perhaps the greatest theologian of the 20th century. Tillich's theology addresses a wide range of theological issues beginning with the nature of God and ending with the nature of Eternal Life. Using the latest in social science analysis, Tillich identifies specific conditions confronted by individuals and nations, addressing each from a Bible-based theological standpoint. At the end of each chapter Pomeroy illustrates the issues at hand with real life stories or reflections from leading scientists, theologians and social scientists. This is then followed by discussion questions. The book is a welcome relief for theologians and lay people alike as it has depth without all those written words. For a mainline church study group it is a primer.

Book excerpt: This collection of essays considers various aspects of Paul Tillich's theology of nature, culture, and politics in relation to major theological movements, thinkers, and events of the twentieth century. These essays are not purely an exercise in historical theology but an apology for Tillich's theological, philosophical, and ethical project. The underlying assumption is that Tillich's theology, both in form and content, is worth reading and learning from in the modern and postmodern era, even though we inhabit today an intellectual environment not very amenable to Tillich's form of mediation.

Book excerpt: It has been said that no one who reads Paul Tillich can fail to learn from him. But Tillich is not always easily read. Ronald Modras's study, Paul Tillich's Theology of the Church: A Catholic Appraisal, opens up Tillich's often esoteric system to non initiates and relates the Christian message to contemporary questions and concerns. It offers a systematic study of what it means to be a Catholic, a Protestant, or a believing Christian today. In this remarkable book, Ronald Modras enters into an extensive Catholic-Prot_ estant dialog with his subject, Tillich, on the theology of the church. His findings are based on an exhaustive study of the sources in Tillich. He also provides a helpful compendium of Catholic thought based on a thorough knowledge of both European and American theology of the church. Modras poses the questions: What is the nature and function of authority, of dogmas, of structures in the church? How can they claim for their origins someone like Jesus who championed freedom? How much reform can any church take? He focuses in on the central nerve of Tillich's theology: the polarity between the symbolic ritualistic embodiment of the Divine (Catholic substance) and the rejection of all attempts to accord these embodiments ultimacy (the Protestant principle). Modras shows that Vatican II went a long way in undermining dogmatic absolutism, and that Catholic theology since Vatican II has gone even further. Madras compares Tillich's stance with that of contemporary Catholic theology of the church and shows how Tillich can be reconciled with Catholic thinkers like Baum, Dewart, Kasper, Kung, and Schoonenberg. He thus not only translates Tillich for a non-theological reading audience, but also clarifies the central difficulty that faces Catholic and Protestant efforts at Christian unity today, demonstrating both the areas of substantive agreement and the areas where difficulties for Christian unity still remain. Hans Kling, in his Foreword to the book, says: "In both its presentation and appraisal Paul Tillich's Theology of the Church constitutes an important contribution to ecumenical understanding."

Book excerpt: Paul Tillich (1886-1965) was a remarkable and a singular theologian who was as much at home in a philosophical discussion as he was in the pulpit and seemed as keenly interested in art and politics as he was in his work as a professional theologian. His attacks on Nazism led to the banning of his books, his dismissal from Frankfurt University and, ultimately, his departure for the United States in November 1933. He continued to live and work in America after the war, engaging in many lecture tours around the world. Professor Heywood Thomas reviews critically the philosophical background to Tillich's theology, including his debts to Schelling, Kant and Husserl. He surveys Tillich's achievement as a philosophical theologian, examining his ontological approach to Christology and salvation and his understanding of the Church as a spiritual community. He concludes with an exploration of Tillich's contribution to the changed situation of theology today. Tillich's many points of contact with key thinkers in theology and philosophy (including Heidegger, Otto, Bultmann, Adorno and Barth) make him a compelling figure for those interested in the history of ideas in the twentieth century.

Book excerpt: 'The Irrelevance and Relevance of the Christian Message' is a transcript of Paul Tillich's 1963 Earl Lectures at the Graduate Theological Union. Delivered just two years before his death, these lectures present Tillich's heartfelt and deeply personal understanding of the relevance of Christian preaching and Christian theology. Why, Tillich asks, has the Christian message become seemingly irrelevant to contemporary society? Is the gospel able to give answers to the questions raised by the existentialist analysis of the human predicament? Yes, he answers -- but in order to do so Christian teaching and preaching need to undergo dramatic renewal, the root of which requires an affirmation of love as central to Christian identity. Further, we need to recognize that this task is not limited to preachers and theologians; all of us together are responsible for the irrelevance or the relevance of the gospel in our time.
