Pastor Tillich: The Justification of the Doubter tells the story of
Paul Tillich's early theological development from his student days
until the end of the First World War, set against the backdrop of
church politics in Wilhelmine Germany and with particular reference
to his early sermons. The majority of scholarship understands
Tillich primarily as a philosophical theologian. But before and
during the First World War, Tillich was Pastor Tillich, studying to
become a pastor, leading a Christian student group, working
periodically as a pastor in Berlin churches, and preaching to
soldiers. Arriving in Berlin after the war, Tillich pursued
religious socialism and a theology of culture through the 1920s.
But the theological basis of these programmes was what Tillich
considered his main concern in 1919: the theology of doubt. Using a
wealth of untranslated German sources largely unknown to
English-language scholarship, Pastor Tillich presents the stations
of Tillich's theological development of the notion of the
justification of the doubter up to 1919. Distinguishing between
Tillich's later autobiographical statements and the witness of
archival sources, a significantly original, contextualised account
of Tillich's early life in Germany emerges. From his days as the
conservative son of a conservative Lutheran pastor to the
battle-worn chaplain who could even talk about 'faith without God',
Tillich underwent considerable change. The book should therefore
speak to any interested in the history of modern theology, as an
example of how biography and theology are intertwined.
