Download or read book Retrieving the Radical Tillich written by Russell Re Manning and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-01-26 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul Tillich is best known today as a theologian of mediation. Many have come to view him as an out-of-date thinker a safe exemplar of a mid-twentieth-century theological liberalism. The way he has come to be viewed contrasts sharply with the current theological landscape one dominated by the notion of radicality. In this collection, Russell Re Manning breaks with the widespread opinion of Tillich as 'safe' and dated. Retrieving the Radical Tillich depicts the thinker as a radical theologian, strongly marked but never fully determined by the urgent critical demands of his time. From the crisis of a German cultural and religious life after the First World War, to the new realities of religious pluralism, Tillich's theological responses were always profoundly ambivalent, impure and disruptive, asserts Re Manning. The Tillich that is outlined and analyzed by this collection is never merely correlative. Far from the dominant image of the theologian as a liberal accommodationist, Re Manning reintroduces the troubled and troubling figure of the radical Tillich.

Download or read book Paul Tillich and the Pedagogy of Courage written by Edward Vinski and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2021-01-13 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul Tillich was one of the great theologians and philosophers of the 20th century. Born before the advent of the automobile, he lived to see the launch of Sputnik, the Mercury and Gemini programs, and the dawn of the nuclear age. One of the key events in his early life was the First World War, during which he served the German army as a Chaplain. He survived that war, and his early works grew out of the optimistic and creative zeitgeist that emerged in its wake. Before he turned 60, he had survived the Second World War as well. His later work might be seen as a reaction to the pessimism and anxiety triggered by that conflict’s atrocities and by technological advancements capable of extinguishing life on this planet. Tillich always lived his life on boundaries. He straddled 19th and 20th centuries, feeling at home in both, but never quite feeling as if he fully belonged to either. If such a boundary existence created anxiety for him, it also brought him both intellectual and personal satisfaction. He believed that, to fully live, one must do so on the boundary. While the works of other existentialist philosophers have been applied to education, there have been few, if any, attempts to apply Tillich’s work specifically. This book demonstrates Tillich’s place in pedagogy, by showing how a specifically “Tillichian” approach to education may help diminish students’ existential anxieties and make them better prepared to live in the modern world. It suggests that taking such an approach might also help in diminishing devastating societal ills, such as opioid dependence and suicide rates.
Download or read book Paul Tillich and the Possibility of Revelation through Film written by Jonathan Brant and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-01-26 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the birth of cinema at the end of the nineteenth century religion and film have been entwined. The Jesus-story and other religious narratives were the subject matter of some of the earliest cinema productions and this relationship has continued into the present. A recent proliferation of texts, conferences and courses bear witness to burgeoning academic interest in the relation between religion and film. In this study, Jonathan Brant explores the possibility that even films lacking religious subject matter might have a religious impact upon their viewers, the possibility of revelation through film. The book begins with a reading of Paul Tillich's theology of revelation through culture and continues with a qualitative research project which grounds this theoretical account in the experiences of a group of filmgoers. The empirical research takes place in Latin America where the intellectual puzzle and central research questions that drive the thesis arose and developed. Brant combines theoretical and empirical research in order to provide fresh insights into the way in which film functions and impacts its viewers and also offers an unusual perspective on the strengths and weaknesses of Tillich's theology of revelation, which is seen to focus on the saving and healing power of revelation rather than its communicative content. The grounding of the theory by the empirical data results in an increased appreciation of the sensitivity of Tillich's theology to the uniqueness of each film-to-viewer encounter and the data also suggests a new construal of the revelatory potential of film that is related to the community rather than the individual and to sustained life-practice rather than momentary experience. Brant reasons that Tillich's account is sensitive and compelling precisely because of its phenomenological attentiveness to real life experience, notably Tillich's own experience, of the power of art. However, Brant also suggests that it might be helpful to identify a stronger link than Tillich allows between the subject matter of the artwork, the content of revelation and the effect of revelation.

This Companion provides an overview of how the Christian doctrine of the Trinity has been understood and articulated in the last two thousand years.

Download or read book The Cambridge Companion to Orthodox Christian Theology written by Elizabeth Theokritoff and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2008-12-18 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Orthodox Christian theology is often presented as the direct inheritor of the doctrine and tradition of the early Church. But continuity with the past is only part of the truth; it would be false to conclude that the eastern section of the Christian Church is in any way static. Orthodoxy, building on its patristic foundations, has blossomed in the modern period. This volume focuses on the way Orthodox theological tradition is understood and lived today. It explores the Orthodox understanding of what theology is: an expression of the Church's life of prayer, both corporate and personal, from which it can never be separated. Besides discussing aspects of doctrine, the book portrays the main figures, themes and developments that have shaped Orthodox thought. There is particular focus on the Russian and Greek traditions, as well as the dynamic but less well-known Antiochian tradition and the Orthodox presence in the West.

This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 180 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.
