This book is a volume in the Penn Press Anniversary Collection. To
mark its 125th anniversary in 2015, the University of Pennsylvania
Press rereleased more than 1,100 titles from Penn Press's
distinguished backlist from 1899-1999 that had fallen out of print.
Spanning an entire century, the Anniversary Collection offers
peer-reviewed scholarship in a wide range of subject areas.
In this volume, the third and last of his "Systematic Theology,"
Paul Tillich sets forth his ideas of the meaning of human life, the
doctrine of the Spirit and the church, the trinitarian symbols, the
relation of history to the Kingdom of God, and the eschatological
symbols. He handles this subject matter with powerful conceptual
ability and intellectual grace.
The problem of life is ambiguity. Every process of life has its
contrast within itself, thus driving man to the quest for
unambiguous life or life under the impact of the Spritual Presence.
The Spritual Presence conquers the negativities of religion,
culture, and morality, and the symbols anticipating Eternal Life
present the answer to the problem of life.
Selected as one of the Books of the Century by the New York Public
Library "The Courage to Be changed my life. It also profoundly
impacted the lives of many others from my generation. Now Harvey
Cox's fresh introduction helps to open up this powerful reading
experience to the current generation."-Robert N. Bellah, University
of California, Berkeley Originally published more than fifty years
ago, The Courage to Be has become a classic of twentieth-century
religious and philosophical thought. The great Christian
existentialist thinker Paul Tillich describes the dilemma of modern
man and points a way to the conquest of the problem of anxiety.
This edition includes a new introduction by Harvey Cox that
situates the book within the theological conversation into which it
first appeared and conveys its continued relevance in the current
century. "The brilliance, the wealth of illustration, and the
aptness of personal application . . . make the reading of these
chapters an exciting experience."-W. Norman Pittenger, New York
Times Book Review "A lucid and arresting book."-Frances
Witherspoon, New York Herald Tribune "Clear, uncluttered thinking
and lucid writing mark Mr. Tillich's study as a distinguished and
readable one."-American Scholar
Dr. Tillich shows here that in spite of the contrast between
philosophical and biblical language, it is neither necessary nor
possible to separate them from each other. On the contrary, all the
symbols used in biblical religion drive inescapably toward the
philosophical quest for being. An important statement of a great
theologian's position, this book presents an eloquent plea for the
essential function of philosophy in religious thought.
This is the first part of Paul Tillich's three-volume "Systematic
Theology," one of the most profound statements of the Christian
message ever composed and the summation and definitive presentation
of the theology of the most influential and creative American
theologian of the twentieth century.
In this path-breaking volume Tillich presents the basic method and
statement of his system--his famous "correlation" of man's deepest
questions with theological answers. Here the focus is on the
concepts of being and reason. Tillich shows how the quest for
revelation is integral to reason itself. In the same way a
description of the inner tensions of being leads to the recognition
that the quest for God is implied in finite being.
Here also Tillich defines his thought in relation to philosophy and
the Bible and sets forth his famous doctrine of God as the "Ground
of Being." Thus God is understood not as "a" being existing beside
other beings, but as being-itself or the power of being in
everything. God cannot be made into an object; religious knowledge
is, therefore, necessarily symbolic.
In this volume, the second of his three-volume reinterpretation of
Christian theology, Paul Tillich comes to grips with the central
idea of his system--the doctrine of the Christ. Man's predicament
is described as the state of "estrangement" from himself, from his
world, and from the divine ground of his self and his world. This
situation drives man to the quest for a new state of things, in
which reconciliation and reunion conquer estrangement. This is the
quest for the Christ.
This book presents Paul Tillich at his very best--brief, clear,
stimulating, provocative. Speaking with understanding and force, he
makes a basic analysis of love, power, and justice, all concepts
fundamental in the mutual relations of people, of social groups,
and of humankind to God. His concern is to penetrate to the
essential, or ontological foundation of the meaning of each of
these words and thus save them from the vague talk, idealism,
cynicism, and sentimentality with which they are usually treated.
The basic unity of love, power, and justice is affirmed and
described in terms that are fresh and compelling.
Der Band enthalt die bisher unveroffentlichten Manuskripte der
Vorlesungen, die der Privatdozent Paul Tillich vom Wintersemester
1920/21 bis zum Wintersemester 1923/24 an der Theologischen
Fakultat der Berliner Universitat gehalten hat. Ihr Thema ist die
Geschichte des philosophischen Denkens von den Vorsokratikern bis
zur Aufklarung unter besonderer Berucksichtigung der
altchristlichen und mittelalterlichen Philosophie. Tillich
behandelt den traditionellen Stoff der Philosophiegeschichte nach
der von ihm in seiner Idee der Geisteswissenschaft begrundeten
metalogischen Methode, einer theonomen Erkenntnistheorie. Die
Vorlesungen zeigen Sinn und Reichweite dieser Methode und stellen
Konkretionen seines Programms einer Theologie der Kultur dar."
