A new addition to the "Guides for the Perplexed series", this new
book on Tillich will analyze, clarify and connect the most central
and difficult of Tillich's theological concepts.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 new "Guide for the
Perplexed" is focused on analyzing, clarifying and connecting the
most central and difficult of Tillich's theological concepts. We
consult major works, like the Systematic Theology, The Courage to
Be, Dynamics of Faith and The Protestant Era, but also some of
Tillich's lesser known works, such as "The Interpretation of
History" and his earliest writings on German philosophy.
Additionally, some of the more prominent critiques of Tillich's
approach help to understand the complexities of his
theology."Continuum's Guides for the Perplexed" are clear, concise
and accessible introductions to thinkers, writers and subjects that
students and readers can find especially challenging - or indeed
downright bewildering. Concentrating specifically on what it is
that makes the subject difficult to grasp, these books explain and
explore key themes and ideas, guiding the reader towards a thorough
understanding of demanding material.
