Title: Classic Theological Existentialism
Product review: I hate that Tilllich's theological step-child is John Shelby Spong. If you've ever read both Spong and Tillich you will understand why. Spong is a Gargamel-like, brute who can never hope to live up to his daddy's expectations.I disagree with Tillich on much, especially his basic ontology. I think his ontology is rather silly, actually. But, we agree on other things. While I think Christian faith is more existential than what it is sometimes portrayed to be, I don't think that necessarily entails an existentialist ontology. Nevertheless, his treatment on anxiety and its relation to being & non-being are profound. Sometimes people that initially disagree on basic issues can end up agreeing about many other issues. Tillich is personally a case of that example. He had me going most of the way, in fact, right up until the end, about 15 pages out. Anyway, it's a theological classic. Very aesthetically pleasing.
