Paul Tillich in Plain English

This book is an introduction to Paul Tillich's theology for beginners. Tillich's thought can be difficult, and it has been frequently misread, but Morrison presents a more charitable reading than the common one, which will be a help to beginners and scholars alike. Tillich strived to make theology relevant to our existential situation today, and for that reason, his work is worth reading carefully and patiently. Morrison examines the major themes and insights from Tillich's thought in a clear and passionate manner.The chapters include a biography of Tillich, a study of his concept of faith, God and symbols, Christ the New Being, unambiguous life, and the method of correlation. A number of other fascinating subjects from Tillich's theology are explored, including his argument for universalism, excerpts from his sermons, and his proposal for revising the doctrine of the atonement, among other subjects.
