<<Wiki says Tillich wrestled with the existential issues from a Christian theologian's perspective. Not that he was an Christian Existentialist per se. <<Good point but doesn't take us anywhere. Tillich and Karl Barth were the preeminent protestant theologians in the years roughly from somewhere either just before WWII or just after to well after their deaths. You had to read them in seminary, whatever the seminary, even if just to understand how to argue against them.>> I think it takes us somewhere. In fact, I think it takes us to the heart of the matter. "Tillich wrestled with the existential issue from a Christian theologian's perspective. That "was" the wrestling match after Darwin. That is the wrestling match around the world.
