Paul Tillich (18861965) is widely regarded as one of the most influential theologians of the 20th century. By bringing his thought together with the theology and practices of an important contemporary Christian movement, Pentecostalism, this volume provokes active, productive, critical, and creative dialogue with a broad range of theological topics. These essays stimulate robust conversation, engage on common ground regarding the work of the Holy Spirit, and offer significant insights into the universal concerns of Christian theology and Paul Tillich and his legacy.
This is the first sustained encounter between the theological thought of one of the greatest modern Protestant theologians, Paul Tillich, and one of the most significant contemporary movements in Christianity, Pentecostalism.For Tillichians, this book enriches our context for appreciating his theology of the Spirit.Vol. 32. 2 Fall 2016These essays are remarkably clear and well-balanced. The essayists read Tillich empathetically and acutely, noting both the prospective values in Tillich for Pentecostals as well as points of divergence and disagreement.While respecting certain, perhaps unbridgeable differences, this book draws some surprising and fascinating points of comparison. It illuminates aspects of Pentecostal Christianity and Tillichian theology by bringing them together in compelling and highly creative ways.
