Title: A critique of Paul Tillich's apologetic Christology
Description: It is not a book! It is a thesis written for the degree of Master of Philosophy in Theology at the University of Hull. I was a full-time research student and a tutorial assistant in Theology at Hull 1977-1979. The thesis was written for submission in November 1979 and assessed by a viva voce examination in January 1980. The degree was conferred in the 1980 Summer Degree Congregation.

I imagine the thesis can be borrowed via the inter-library loan system? The thesis examines Tillich's Christology against the criteria set by his apologetic theology. Existentialism is assessed as an apologetic medium, and problems over the authenticity and content of Tillich's Christology - as well as the historical problem of his approach - are reviewed. The final sections of the thesis suggest how the relational aspects in Tillich's Christology resonate with other strands in emergent Christologies.
