The Political Theology of Paul Tillich explores the political theology of one of the foremost thinkers of the 20th century, Paul Tillich, whose life and scholarship were decisively shaped by his experiences during World War I, his resistance to the rising scourge of Nazism in Germany, and his subsequent immigration to the United States. Tillich’s discerning analysis of fascism, grounded in his socialist commitments, and his continuing efforts to write theology in correlation with culture, make his voice a crucial one for contemporary political theology. The contributors to this volume represent different generations, social and cultural locations, and nationalities Together, they explore Tillich’s early work on religious socialism and its lingering presence in his later systematic theology, bring him into dialogue with liberation theologies, apply his thought to contemporary political concerns, and show the significance of his method of correlation for theological scholarship that engages culture, thereby presenting a case for the continued relevance of Tillich for political theology.
