"With this volume, Paul Tillich joins the ranks of the great Christian theologians such as Augustine of Hippo and Thomas Aquinas. . . .This volume, compiled by a noted minister and scholar, offers to the theological student, church worker, or, indeed, any serious reader struggling with the existential question, a tantalizing and illuminating introduction to perhaps the greatest mind of twentieth-century Protestant theology."-Booklist

He projects, quite properly, that the 'essential' Tillich can do the same for others. . . ."-Christian Century "This book summarizes in Tillich's own words much of the best of his thought, still highly relevant today."-Library Journal " Church] helps Tillich speak to an audience unfamiliar with the breadth and depth of his thought."-Religious Studies Review
