TILLICH, PAUL

Additional reading Autobiographical essays may be found in Tillich's writings: The Protestant Era, trans. by J.L. Adams (1948); My Search for Absolutes (1967); On the Boundary (1966); and My Travel Diary: 1936, ed. by J.C. Brauer (1970). A good biographical study is Arne Unhjem, Dynamics of Doubt: A Preface to Tillich (1966).The Gesammelte Werke, 11 vol. (195969), a collection of Tillich's writings, makes available his early and mostly untranslated works, including in vol. 1, Frhe Hauptwerke. Systematic Theology, 3 vol. (195163), is Tillich's major statement of the meaning of Christian faith, together with The Courage to Be (1952), and The Dynamics of Faith (1957).Two important critical studies are Christoph Rhein, Paul Tillich: Philosoph und Theologe (1957), with emphasis on Tillich's early development; and J.L. Adams, Paul Tillich's Philosophy of Culture, Science, and Religion (1965), the best overall view of Tillich's thought published in English. Other studies include: C.W. Kegley and R.W. Bretall (eds.), The Theology of Paul Tillich (1952); D.H. Kelsey, The Fabric of Paul Tillich's Theology (1967); W.L. Rowe, Religious Symbols and God: A Philosophical Study of Tillich's Theology (1968); R.P.
