One of the world’s most renowned theologians and philosophers of religion, Dr. Paul Tillich discusses in this book certain points of view considered by him to be decisive as an approach to Christianity and its encounter with world religions; the emphasis on and the characterization of quasi-religions; the elaboration of the universalist element in Christianity; the suggestion of a dynamic typology; the diafogical character of the encounter of high religions; and the judgment of Christianity against itself and its openness for criticism from other religions and from quasi-religions.
“These stimulating and impressive essays might well serve as introduction to the thought of one of the world’s best-known Protestant philosopher-theologians....For those already familiar with Tillich’s work the volume will have special interest.”—New York
