Essays on the religious dimensions of cultural life

Gathering fifteen essays by Paul Tillich, Theology of Culture places religion in conversation with major forms of modern cultural activity. The collection examines links between religious thought and art, existentialism, psychoanalysis, science, and education, while its central philosophical concern is the divide often drawn between religion and culture. Comparative discussions of Europe and America, America and Russia, Protestantism and Judaism extend that inquiry across cultural and religious traditions. With essays originally published separately, the volume offers a concentrated view of Tillich’s approach to theology as a way of interpreting broad intellectual and social questions.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

Book overview

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 arguement for closing the fateful gap between religion and culture, thus reconciling concerns which are not strange to each other. Dr. Tillich consequently shows the religious dimension in many special spheres of man's cultural activity by discussing religion in relation to art, Existentialism, psychoanalysis, science, and education. He also argues against spiritual and intellectual provincialism by comparing the cultures of Europe and Americal, America and Russia, and the philosophies of Protestantism and Judaism. To those already familiar with Dr.Tillich's writings, this book makes available a selection of his previously scattered esays. For those who are reading his book for the first time, this book brings together the grand motifs of the thought of a great theologian and philosopher.
