内容简介

Review

'Here, in direct language, free from pietistic jargon and theological abstractions, Tillich speaks to twentieth-century man. Shining through these excellent addresses is his evangelistic concern, his attempt to make intelligible and acceptable the deep things of the Christian faith... he is constantly trying to interpret the facts of everyday experience in such a way that they become revelatory of God, and time and again his sane wisdom finds expression in brief but illuminating sayings.' Expository Times; 'There is not one of these addresses that does not deserve careful scrutiny.' Times Literary Supplement

Product Description

These 16 sermons contain in concentrated form some of Tillich's most lambent themes. Although they were first published in the early 1960s, the pieces in question take up preoccupations which continue to haunt us at the beginning of the 21st century. Tillich discusses, among other topics, wisdom; salvation; loneliness and solitude; creation in relation to the creator; inequality; and spiritual presence. He has a desire to make sense of the fundamental mystery of Christian theology: the paradox of the moment which is now wherein comes the mystery which is eternity.
