Books

• The Protestant Era (1948)

• The Shaking of the Foundations (1948)

• The Courage to Be (1952)
  In this classic and deeply insightful book, one of the world's most eminent philosophers describes the dilemma of modern man and points a way to the conquest of the problem of anxiety.

• The Courage To Be (1954)

• Love, Power, and Justice: Ontological Analyses and Ethical Applications (1954)

• Biblical Religion and the Search for Ultimate Reality (1955)

• The New Being (1955)
  These twenty-three meditations on key passages from the Bible were originally delivered as addresses at colleges and universities. They are short, powerful, and persuasive examinations of the effect of God's love on the life of the believer and the challenges of living the New Creation-"the infinite passion of every human being." Tillich scholar Mary Ann Stenger provides a new introduction for this edition. Paul Tillich (1886-1965) was born in Germany, the son of a Lutheran pastor. After earning a doctorate in philosophy, he was ordained in the Lutheran church and served as an army chaplain in the First World War. He is widely regarded as the leading Protestant theologian of the twentieth century. Mary Ann Stenger is an associate professor of humanities studies at the University of Louisville and the coauthor of Dialogues of Paul Tillich.

• The Religious Situation (1956)

• Dynamics of Faith (1958)
  One of the greatest books ever written on the subject, Dynamics of Faithis a primer in the philosophy of religion. Paul Tillich, a leading theologian of the twentieth century, explores the idea of faith in all its dimensions, while defining the concept in the process.

• Eternal Now (1962)

• Beyond Morality: Christian Ethics and the Transmoral Conscience (1963)

• Morality and Beyond (1963)

• Biblical Religion and the Search for Ultimate Reality (1964)
  Dr. Tillich shows here that in spite of the contrast between philosophical and biblical language, it is neither necessary nor possible to separate them from each other. On the contrary, all the symbols used in biblical religion drive inescapably toward the philosophical quest for being. An important statement of a great theologian's position, this book presents an eloquent plea for the essential function of philosophy in religious thought.

• Christianity and the Encounter of the World Religions (1964)

• Love Power and Justice (1964)

• Theology of Culture (1964)
  Attempts to show the religious dimension in many special spheres of man's cultural activity.

• The World Situation (1965)

• The Future of Religions (1966)
  Includes four important essays by Paul Tillich, including his last public address, with tributes by Jerald C. Brauer, Wilhelm Pauck and Mircea Eliade.

• History of Christian Thought (1972)

• Boundaries of Our Being (1973)

• Systematic Theology, Vol. 1 (1973)
  This is the first part of Paul Tillich's three-volume Systematic Theology, one of the most profound statements of the Christian message ever composed and the summation and definitive presentation of the theology of the most influential and creative American theologian of the twentieth century.
  
  In this path-breaking volume Tillich presents the basic method and statement of his system—his famous "correlation" of man's deepest questions with theological answers. Here the focus is on the concepts of being and reason. Tillich shows how the quest for revelation is integral to reason itself. In the same way a description of the inner tensions of being leads to the recognition that the quest for God is implied in finite being.
  
  Here also Tillich defines his thought in relation to philosophy and the Bible and sets forth his famous doctrine of God as the "Ground of Being." Thus God is understood not as a being existing beside other beings, but as being-itself or the power of being in everything. God cannot be made into an object; religious knowledge is, therefore, necessarily symbolic.

• Mysticism and Guilt-Consciousness in Schelling's Philosophical Development  (1975)

• Systematic Theology, Vol. 2: Existence and Christ (1975)

• The Construction of the History of Religion in Schelling's Positive Philosophy: Its Presuppositions and Principles (1975)

• Systematic Theology, Vol. 3: Life and the Spirit -- History and the Kingdom of God (1976)
  In this volume, the third and last of his Systematic Theology, Paul Tillich sets forth his ideas of the meaning of human life, the doctrine of the Spirit and the church, the trinitarian symbols, the relation of history to the Kingdom of God, and the eschatological symbols. He handles this subject matter with powerful conceptual ability and intellectual grace.
  
  The problem of life is ambiguity. Every process of life has its contrast within itself, thus driving man to the quest for unambiguous life or life under the impact of the Spiritual Presence. The Spiritual Presence conquers the negativities of religion, culture, and morality, and the symbols anticipating Eternal Life present the answer to the problem of life.  See also Systematic Theology.
