Abstract

Expectation and utopia are rooted in the ontological structure of man’s being. The struggle for a meaningful society and against a demonized society is a necessary expression for the expectation of the Kingdom of God. In his paper on “The Kingdom of God and History” from 1936, Tillich does not start from man’s ontological structure and his expectation or utopia but from the symbol for the Kingdom of God. In his bi-polar “applied theology” and his doctrine of the kairos he affirms the idea that the Kingdom of God is involved in historical events, in actualization in time.
