Paul Tillich

4.9/5 (27171 ratings)

Description:Without peer as a precise observer and analyst of the contemporary situation, Paul Tillich was one of Christianity's greatest philosophical theologians. In describing On the Boundary, he said that it "consists of a general introduction to my thought from the point of view of its biographical genesis ... I hope it will elucidate my ideas by revealing their roots in actual situations and amidst practical needs. I think that every thought, even the most abstract, must have a basis in our real existence."On the Boundary reveals how, during Paul Tillich's European years, his position with regard to many important aspects of life and thought stood between seemingly contradictory influences. In its original form, it was Part One of The Interpretation of History (1936), Paul Tillich's first volume after his emigration from Germany to America in 1933. After many years' persuasion, friends and scholars all over the world convinced Professor Tillich to authorize a newly translated, revised and abridged edition of the book. His editing of the final manuscript of On the Boundary was part of Paul Tillich's last literary work.About this book, Father George Tavard has written: "Tillich looked back over an eventful past. The traumatic experience of leaving his country at the age of forty-seven sharpened his insight. It also colored his style with what may have been regret, and may also be a sublimation of existential reflection into delicate poetry."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
