dc.description.abstract | An exposition of any phase of Paul Tilllch's thought
demands an appreciation of his highly individualistic and
powerful terminology. For some, this has presented an almost
insurmountable obstacle. Otters, having wrestled with its
meaning, have discovered an insight and profundity that is
at once astounding and fascinating. Such has been my experience. I have been aided in my understanding by a deep respect
for what Proffesor Tillich is trying to do, that is, reinterpret
Christian thought in terns that have meaning for this age. Welcoming his departure from traditional theological
language, I have frequently in the course of this thesis allowed
Tillich to speak for himself. Only by facing up squarely to
his "unconventional language" can one enter fully into the
"courageous venture of his original mind, struggling with
important questions. Tillich*s terms may be abstract, but
his thought is not. It deals rigorously and realistically
with the very stuff of life. | en |
