Too often we see reality in black and white, overlooking nuances
that require the discernment of tensions between the brokenness of
our world and our desires for reconciliation. Yet the gap between
wounding words and actions and the hope for acts of reconciliation
can lead to even more violence and despair. The authors of this
volume explore these tensions and the valences of 'brokenness' and
'reconciliation' in Paul Tillich's thought. Together, they
contribute to a richer understanding of the thought of the German
American theologian and philosopher, his commitments, and the
constructive interpretations his work can induce for us today.
Think of the ruptures and efforts of dialogue among divided
Christian churches, or the commitment of the social worker; reflect
on how love as agape, or the courage to be, can be at the heart of
this constructive work; or consider the reconciliation processes of
peoples torn apart by violence, to mention a few contributions from
this volume. Collectively, these contributions raise the hope of a
Tillichian creative justice, a hope that can stimulate a broad
audience to go beyond the superficiality and instantaneity of
social media to something deeper, more enduring, and
transformative.
