Paul Tillich (1886–1965) war ein Denker von internationaler Ausstrahlung und weltweitem Rang. Von seinen Schriften gehen wichtige Impulse für die theologischen, religionsphilosophischen und kulturtheoretischen Debatten aus. Die Reihe Tillich Research reflektiert die internationale Forschung zu diesem namhaften Theologen und Philosophen, die wissenschaftliche Erschließung seines Werks mit jeweils ganz unterschiedlichen Zugängen zu Rezeption und Interpretation sowie einer facettenreichen Auswahl und Gewichtung der Themen.
Fifty years after his death in 1965 the essays in this collection return to Paul Tillich to investigate his theology and its legacy, with a focus on contemporary British scholarship. Originating in a conference held in Oxford in 2014, the book contains 16 original contributions from a mixture of junior and more established scholars, most of whom have a connection to Britain. The contributions are diverse, but four themes emerge throughout the volume. Several essays are concerning with a characterisation of Tillich's theology. In dialogue with recent emphases on the radical Tillich, some essays suggest a more conservative estimation of Tillich's theology, rooted in the Idealist and classical Christian platonic traditions, whilst in constant engagement with changing existential situations. Secondly, and perhaps reflecting the context of religious diversity and theories of religious pluralism in Britain, many essays engage Tillich's approach to non-Christian religions. Thirdly, some essays address the importance of existentialist philosophy for Tillich, notably via an engagement with Sartre. Finally, a number of essays take up the diagnostic potential of Tillich's theology as a resource for engaging contemporary challenges.
