Books by Paul Tillich

Paul Tillich (1886–1965) was a German-American Protestant theologian and philosopher who became one of the most influential Christian thinkers of the 20th century. He fled Nazi Germany in 1933 and spent decades teaching at Union Theological Seminary, Harvard, and the University of Chicago. His three-volume Systematic Theology and shorter works including The Courage to Be and Dynamics of Faith synthesized existentialist philosophy and Protestant Christianity into a theology of culture. He is widely considered the most significant Protestant theologian of the mid-20th century alongside Karl Barth, with whom he disagreed fundamentally about the method of theology.
