Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book may well be Tillich's most original work. Here theology and culture really penetrate and Tillich's European background and American context really coalesce....Its publication is a theological event."--Albert C. Outler

From the Back Cover

Theology of Culture draws together fifteen of Dr. Tillich's finest essays, in which a diversity of contemporary attitudes and problems is brought within the wide scope of his philosophy. His classic essay, 'The Two Types of Philosophy of Religion, ' is included here as a focal argument for closing 'the fateful gap between religion and culture, thus reconciling concerns which are not strange to each other, but have been estranged from each other.' This book makes available a selection of his previously scattered essays. For first time readers, this book brings together the grand motifs of the thought of a great theologian and philosopher.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tough, challenging, but worth the work

My old college Latin wasn't quite up to some of the work thrust upon it in the early chapters of this book. But stay with it, the Latin disperses like an early morning fog as you get deeper into the volume. I found it very useful. Tillich is father to much of post-modern Protestant theology, it appears.... and probably uncle to a chunk of our new-age thought as well.

A valuable, readable, diverse, and nicely edited selection from the essays of Paul Tillich, it might well be required early reading for anyone seeking "the real Christianity," to borrow a phrase from Elaine Pagels, author of "Adam, Eve, and the Serpent." The editor has done a splendid job.

4.0 out of 5 stars キリスト教と文化の関係について考える。
Reviewed in Japan on March 18, 2012

この本は、1959年にオックスフォード大学出版局から出ました。神学者のティリッヒは、「まえがき」で「宗教と文化の問題は、常に自分の関心の中心にあった」と述べています。人間の文化的活動のいろいろな領域にある宗教的次元を示そうとしています。実存主義がまだ欧米の思想界で主流だった時代をよく反映していると思います。

4.0 out of 5 stars Paul Tillich and culture
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 6, 2013

One of Paul Tillich's seminal works delving with theological tools into secular culture.
His essay on the two types of philosophy of religion is a good antidote to all the
speculative nonsense about talking about God.
