Book Synopsis Paul Tillich's Dialectical Humanism by : Leonard F. Wheat
Download or read book Paul Tillich's Dialectical Humanism written by Leonard F. Wheat and published by Johns Hopkins University Press. This book was released on 1970 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author argues that Tillich is an uncompromising atheist who quite deliberately concealed the real substance of his message in an analogical code that enabled him, like Saint Paul, to be "all things to all men". This calculated ambiguity protected his standing in the Church, allowing him to undermine from within. According to the author, Tillich held that Protestantism should change fundamentally in response to the gap beween tradition and what modern man can believe. Faced with a disquieting spiritual emptiness after his own loss of faith, Tillich sought and found a new truth with which to fill the void. By guarding this truth from all but a few able to accept it, he hoped to lead individual Christians to whatever levels of religious sophistication they were capable of reaching.
Book Synopsis The Dialectic of the Holy by : Robert E. Meditz
Download or read book The Dialectic of the Holy written by Robert E. Meditz and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2016-09-12 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first published book-length treatment on Paul Tillich and Judaism, which is a neglected aspect of Tillich’s thought. It has three compelling features. First, pivotal biographical details show the importance of Judaism for Tillich, and that he ardently opposed anti-Semitism before WWII and after the Holocaust. Second, Tillich’s theological method is examined in key primary sources to show how he maintains continuity between Judaism and Christianity. The primary source analysis includes his 1910 and 1912 dissertations on Schelling, the 1933 The Socialist Decision, the 1952 Berlin lectures on “the Jewish Question,” and his final public lecture on the importance of the history of religion for systematic theology. Particular attention is paid to his dialectical and theological history of religion. Third, Tillich’s positive theology of Judaism contrasts sharply with the many complex, negative ways in which Judaism is portrayed in Western thought. This contributes significantly to our understanding the evolving history of Christian anti-Judaism.
Book Synopsis Theology at the End of Culture by : Russell Re Manning
Download or read book Theology at the End of Culture written by Russell Re Manning and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 2005 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a reconsideration of Paul Tillich's (1886-1965) project of a theology of culture and art. Concentrating on Tillich's widely neglected pre-emigration writings (1910-1933), Re Manning reconstructs and defends Tillich's proposals for theology of culture as a philosophically sophisticated programme of theological engagement with culture and art. 'On the boundary' between the extremes of liberal Christian humanism and neo-orthodox isolationism, Tillich's project is shown to be a powerful continuation of the mediatory intentions of the 'Schleiermacher-Troeltsch line' of modern Protestant theology to overcome the 'intolerable gap' between religion and culture. Drawing heavily on Tillich's incorporation of Schelling's positive philosophy into the deep structure of this theology, Re Manning argues that Tillich's 'Idealistic/Romantic theology of mediation' provides a way through the entrenched oppositions of the 'divided mind' of twentieth century theology to a constructive theology of cultural engagement. Further, this book offers an assessment of the continued relevance of Tillich's project in the situation of contemporary philosophical theology. Beyond the dominant antithetical types of postmodern theology - Mark C. Taylor's a/theology and the 'radical orthodoxy' of John Milbank - Re Manning argues for the possibility of a 'Tillichian postmodern theology of culture' able to engage with the spiritual situation 'at the end of culture.'

Book Synopsis Selfless Love and Human Flourishing in Paul Tillich and Iris Murdoch by : Julia T. Meszaros
Download or read book Selfless Love and Human Flourishing in Paul Tillich and Iris Murdoch written by Julia T. Meszaros and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an age of self-affirmation and self-assertion, 'selfless love' can appear as a threat to the lover's personal well-being. This perception jars with the Biblical promise that we gain our life through losing it and therefore calls for a theological response. In conversation with the Protestant theologian Paul Tillich and the atheistic moral philosopher and novelist Iris Murdoch, Selfless Love and Human Flourishing in Paul Tillich and Iris Murdoch enquires into the anthropological grounds on which selfless love can be said to build up, rather than undermine, the lover's self. It proposes that while the implausibility of selfless love was furthered by the modern deconstruction of the self, both Tillich and Murdoch utilize this very deconstruction towards explicating and restoring the link between selfless love and human flourishing. Julia T. Meszaros shows that they use the modern diagnosis of the human being's lack of a stable and independent self as manifest in Sartre's existentialism in support of an understanding of the self as relational and fallen. This leads them to view a loving orientation away from self and a surrender to the other as critical to the full flourishing of human selfhood. In arguing that Tillich and Murdoch defend the link between selfless love and human flourishing through reference to the human being's ontological selflessness, Meszaros closely engages Søren Kierkegaard's earlier attempt to keep selfless love and human flourishing in a productive, dialectical tension. She also examines the breakdown of this tension in the later figures of Anders Nygren, Simone Weil, and Jean-Paul Sartre, and addresses the pitfalls of this breakdown. Her examination concludes by arguing that the link between selfless love and human flourishing would be strengthened by a more resolute endorsement of a personal God, and of the reciprocal nature of selfless love.
Book Synopsis Paul Tillich and His System of Paradoxical Correlation by : Charles Amarkwei
Download or read book Paul Tillich and His System of Paradoxical Correlation written by Charles Amarkwei and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shows the paradoxical mode by which Christians keep their faith in the Christian message as they relate with science. It reveals how Paul Tillich's method of correlation helps us to understand how Christians interact with science without necessarily conflicting, separating, and dialoguing, and synthesizing with each other. It rules out natural theology but provides a non-eclectic theology of nature that frees Christians to be involved in science meaningfully and without undermining their faith.

Book Synopsis Atheism and Faitheism by : Robert M. Price
Download or read book Atheism and Faitheism written by Robert M. Price and published by Pitchstone Publishing (US&CA). This book was released on 2017-09-26 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theologian and writer Robert M. Price is perhaps best known today for his scholarly arguments against the existence of a historical Jesus. Yet, he has been at various times in his career an agnostic, an exponent of Liberal Protestant theology, a nontheist, a secular humanist, a religious humanist, a Unitarian-Universalist wannabe, an unaffiliated Universalist, and a Fellow of the Jesus Seminar. Any way you cut it, he is not your typical atheist. This collection of his best essays demonstrates his love for the various great religions, which he views as endlessly fascinating expressions of the human spirit. Beneath the keen insights and sharp critiques he offers, whether the subject is theology, secularism, or biblical studies, the essays themselves are also deeply personal and revealing. Read together, they document his self-extrication from the born-again Christianity in which he dwelt for some dozen years--and his subsequent rise to celebrated freethought advocate whose work has challenged an entire field.
Book Synopsis Heideggerian Theologies by : Hue Woodson
Download or read book Heideggerian Theologies written by Hue Woodson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-11-27 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In light of Martin Heidegger’s contextualized influence upon them, John Macquarrie, Rudolf Bultmann, Paul Tillich, and Karl Rahner engage in theologies that, in their respective tasks and scopes, venture into existential theology, following Heideggerian pathmarks toward the primordiality of being on the way to unconcealment, or “aletheia.” By way of each pathmark, each existential theologian assumes a specific theological stance that utilizes a decidedly existential lens. While the former certainly grounds them fundamentally in a kind of theology, the latter, by way of Heideggerian influences, allows them to venture beyond any traditional theological framework with the use of philosophical suppositions and propositions. In an effort at explaining the relationship between humanity’s “being” and God’s “Being,” each existential theologian examines what it means to be human, not strictly in terms of theology, but as it is tied inextricably to an understanding of the philosophy of existence: the concept of what being is.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clear and Definite Words is a lucid exposure of the present confusion within theological discourse. It charges and proves that avoiding or equivocating on the question of ontology is impossible. It thus undermines the premise of much theological discourse today and lays the way for greater theological clarity and commitment. This book goes head-to-head with great forcefulness and passion against anyone and anything that has served to impede the right of theology to speak with clear and definite words.

Download or read book Tillich written by J. Heywood Thomas and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2000-12-13 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul Tillich (1886-1965) was a remarkable and a singular theologian who was as much at home in a philosophical discussion as he was in the pulpit and seemed as keenly interested in art and politics as he was in his work as a professional theologian. His attacks on Nazism led to the banning of his books, his dismissal from Frankfurt University and, ultimately, his departure for the United States in November 1933. He continued to live and work in America after the war, engaging in many lecture tours around the world. Professor Heywood Thomas reviews critically the philosophical background to Tillich's theology, including his debts to Schelling, Kant and Husserl. He surveys Tillich's achievement as a philosophical theologian, examining his ontological approach to Christology and salvation and his understanding of the Church as a spiritual community. He concludes with an exploration of Tillich's contribution to the changed situation of theology today. Tillich's many points of contact with key thinkers in theology and philosophy (including Heidegger, Otto, Bultmann, Adorno and Barth) make him a compelling figure for those interested in the history of ideas in the twentieth century.
