Description
Book SynopsisPaul Tillich is best known today as a theologian of mediation. Retrieving the Radical Tillich depicts the thinker as a radical theologian, strongly marked but never fully determined by the urgent critical demands of his time.
Trade Review“This book of thirteen chapters and an introduction by Russell Re Manning, is an attempt to explore the nature and identity of the radical Tillich. … The papers are written for specialists and readers are expected to be familiar with a range of contemporary philosophical movements. … Russell Re Manning has done much to promote the study of Tillich. … His chapter and introduction in this book demonstrate the depth of his knowledge of, and engagement with, Tillich.” (Graeme Smith, Modern Believing, April, 2016)
