Paul Tillich

Paul Johannes Tillich (August 20, 1886 – October 22, 1965) was a German American Christian existentialist philosopher and theologian who is widely regarded as one of the most influential theologians of the twentieth century.
Among the general public, he is best known for his works The Courage to Be (1952) and Dynamics of Faith (1957), which introduced issues of theology and modern culture to a general readership. Theologically, he is best known for his major three-volume work Systematic Theology (1951–63) in which he developed his "method of correlation", an approach of exploring the symbols of Christian revelation as answers to the problems of human existence raised by contemporary existential philosophical analysis.

# One work by this thinker considers "broken" and "unbroken" myths while discussing the limits of the "conventional," or rigid, form of the titular concept. This thinker noted that scriptural literalism requires as much conjecture as the work of David Strauss in his appeal to supplant the cultural identity of Christ in favor of a "New Being." His best known work identifies meaninglessness as the culprit behind the present "age of anxiety" and closes by observing that the title concept is rooted "in the God who appears when God has disappeared." This author of The Dynamics of Faith more centrally described a question-and-answer relationship to explain how divine revelation serves as an inextricable counterpart to ontology in his three-volume Systematic Theology. For 10 points, name this Christian theologian, a German-born lothario who mentored Rollo May and wrote The Courage to Be.
# This man's aesthetic views were formed by a youthful viewing of Botticelli's Raczynski Tondo, and as a proponent of "ecstatic humanism" he critiqued "supranaturalism" in his work System of the Sciences. This author of the autobiography On the Boundary concerned himself with the "demonic" arrayed against the "New Being," and he meditated on religion as the experience of the "Unconditioned" and the dialectic of theonomy in his article "On the Idea of a Theology of Culture." He discussed "The God Above God" and used his "method of correlation" to discuss "absolute faith" in a work that would inspire Rollo May. For 10 points, name this existentialist theologian who developed the "method of correlation" in his Systematic Theology and also wrote The Dynamics of Faith and The Courage to Be.

# This existential philosopher developed his "method of correlation" in his three-volume Systematic Theology, which he recapped in his Gifford Lectures. His most popular book was The Courage to Be.
