Tillich’s main contribution to theology was to offer an account of the significance of human agency within the history of God’s salvation of the world. Amidst the hopelessness of a world twice at war, Tillich introduced an apologetic theological approach, which he deemed a necessary counterpoint to the resulting despair of existentialism on one hand and the reaction of religious fundamentalism on the other. In order to address both the human situation and the Christian message, Tillich articulated the consonance not only between the disciplines of theology and philosophy, but also between some of their major concepts and the daily experience of them in religion and culture. The result was an approach to theology that spanned an unparalleled breadth of philosophical concepts and discussions. While some historical and contextual introduction is provided, this volume is focused on analyzing, clarifying and connecting the most central and difficult of Tillich’s theological concepts.
