Topics
Paul Tillich published numerous volumes on Protestantism in the context of modernity. It is a topic that runs through his oeuvre, constituting one of the significant elements of his theology. For him, Protestantism is above all a critical principle. But Tillich’s critique is not just from the perspective of the Absolute; he also addresses Protestantism’s historical development and the potential end of the Protestant era.
This collection moves from COVID to Kairos, engaged with the legacy of Paul Tillich. Liminal spaces reflect ambiguous transitional moments in human consciousness and culture. In early 2020, cultures and states turned inward for protection, exacerbating intertwined health, political, racial justice, and economic crises. Tillich would have understood these overlapping challenges to be heralding a kairotic moment, reflecting simultaneous crises and opportunities. The collected essays reflect on the intersections of COVID and Kairos. Authors engage numerous ethical challenges precipitated by the current Kairos moment, thinking through and with Tillich. Other essays offer reflections on our cultural moment, engaging topics from public health to video games to hate speech. Reflecting on the cultural moment, this collection offers unique insight into the Tillichian legacy for the present and future.
