Podcasts about Tillich

Gary Dorrien is spending six weeks teaching the history of Christian social ethics in America — and this week Aaron and I turned the lens on Gary himself, which he immediately identified as the worst session of the class. What followed was an hour of Gary tracing his own formation from a kid on Union Road in Midland who couldn't stop staring at the crucifix, through graduate school, liberation theology, democratic socialism, and fifty years of theological labor held together by Rauschenbusch's conviction that capitalism has overdeveloped our selfish instincts and shrunk our capacity for public ends. The crucifix, a seven-year-old on railroad tracks, and why the moral influence theory was second nature before Gary knew it was a theory Going to mass every morning at Union Seminary while reading Barth, Tillich, and Niebuhr — and the Jesuit friends who told him he was obviously a Protestant Gustavo Gutiérrez reading Rauschenbusch for the first time and asking why Americans don't talk about this treasure James Loder, a thousand-page manuscript, and the line "maybe you can find the book in here" His love Brenda — and why Gary can say almost nothing else except that his is a story of being saved by love and grace Why Hegel still grips him fifty years later — and why most people only know the wrong Hegel The six interpretive traditions of Hegel and why the theological-metaphysical one is the one most seminaries quietly abandoned William Temple, Whitehead, and why Gary became an Anglican almost entirely on the strength of one book Capitalism is bad for us and a catastrophe for the planet — a blunt response to a pastor whose congregation looks like a list of what capitalism does wherever it lands Purity politics, DSA, AOC, and why ridicule works but isn't good for us The flickering Galilean vision — and why it keeps flickering not despite being wrong but because it's right Previous Episodes with Gary or Aaron the Niebuhr You Thought You Knew What Would a New Abolition Be?

This series addresses what some of us in recovery refer to as “the God problem.”  Does God exist? Does God really care about us humans – and maybe more honestly and specifically, does God care about me and mine?People have been asking these questions for as long as we've been on this earth but for us “real” alcoholics and addicts whose lives depend on finding a spiritual solution to our addiction death sentence, it's more than a matter of speculation.In this episode Bill and Fr.

Trechos do livro “Purity of Heart Is to Will One Thing”, de Søren Kierkegaard.Søren Kierkegaard (1813–1855) foi um filósofo, escritor e pensador cristão dinamarquês.Nascido em Copenhague e proveniente de uma família profundamente religiosa, sua vida foi marcada por intensa reflexão interior, sofrimento pessoal e um relacionamento rompido que influenciou decisivamente sua obra. Kierkegaard viveu de forma reservada, dedicando-se quase inteiramente à escrita, muitas vezes em oposição à igreja institucional e à filosofia dominante de seu tempo.Seus ensinamentos giram em torno da existência individual, da angústia, da liberdade e da fé. Kierkegaard enfatizou que a verdade cristã não é algo a ser apenas compreendido intelectualmente, mas vivida de maneira pessoal e apaixonada. Introduziu conceitos centrais como o “salto da fé”, defendendo que a relação com Deus exige risco, escolha e responsabilidade. Para ele, a fé autêntica nasce da interioridade e do enfrentamento honesto do desespero humano.Kierkegaard é considerado o pai do existencialismo e uma das vozes mais profundas do cristianismo moderno. Sua obra influenciou amplamente a filosofia, a teologia e a psicologia, marcando pensadores como Heidegger, Sartre e Tillich. Seu legado permanece vivo como um chamado à autenticidade, à fé vivida e à responsabilidade pessoal diante da existência.

Er gehört zu den heute unbekanntesten und doch zugleich theologiegeschichtlich einflussreichsten Denker des 20. Jahrhunderts: der protestantische Theologe und Philosoph Paul Tillich. Ein Gespräch mit dem Wiener Theologen Christian Danz und dem Trierer Philosophen und Tillich-Experten Werner Schüßler aus Anlass der erstmaligen Edition von Tillichs Harvard-Lectures über Religion und Kultur. Weitere Infos zu dieser Publikation wurden bei einem Workshop in Wien am 20./21. März 2026 präsentiert und diskutiert.

Gespräche über Gott & die Welt" ist der Podcast der Theologischen Fakultäten in Österreich und Südtirol. Ziel des Podcasts ist es, Theologie als Rede von Gott in dieser Zeit und in dieser Welt sichtbar zu machen. Um zeitgemäß und zugleich kritisch zu sein, muss sich Theologie lernbereit auf gesellschaftliche Debatten und Themen einlassen.Dieser Herausforderung wollen wir uns in diesem Podcast stellen und dabei aufzeigen, dass die Rede von Gott nichts Verstaubtes, "Jenseitiges" darstellt, sondern ein ernsthaftes und ernst zu nehmendes Denk- und Handlungsangebot "Diesseits von Eden".

This is an audio essay from my SubStack, Process This. ⁠You can head over here to read or watch the entire essay.⁠ In this episode, we explore Paul Tillich's largely forgotten 1933 work The Socialist Decision, written as Hitler rose to power and costing Tillich his professorship and homeland. Here, I explore what it reveals about the current crisis of American Christianity. Tillich argued that authentic human existence requires holding two roots in tension: the "powers of origin" (belonging, tradition, community) and the "prophetic demand" (justice, critique, openness to the stranger). When we collapse into one or the other, we get either authoritarian tribalism or rootless abstraction, and Tillich saw both failures at work in Weimar Germany. The parallels to our moment are striking: white Christian nationalism offers powerful symbols of belonging without prophetic self-criticism, while progressive Christianity has often provided critique without the embodied community and sacred symbols that move the human heart (something I explored here in The Perfect Storm). Tillich's prescription—what he called "theonomy"—charts a third way: a faith rooted in Scripture, sacrament, and particular community yet free because all these point beyond themselves to a God no finite form can capture. This essay was inspired by two recent Substack posts from two of my regular reads, Tony Jones' What the Hell is Going On and Robert Wright's Some useful Trump-Hitler comparisons (in light of Minneapolis and Venezuela). Tony ends his post by saying, “I don't know what will replace Christendom as our moral framework... Some days — and today is one of those days — I fear that we're too fragmented to come back together under any single umbrella of morality.” Tony and I had a rather lengthy text exchange about it, and in it, I said, “It seems as we lose the cultural and ethical inertia of Christendom, Evangelicals get mean, and Mainline Protestants turn to vapid nostalgia.” As I was doing dishes and ruminating, I thought of Paul Tillich's The Socialist Decision, an often-neglected work, and found it helpful in processing the current moment. What sparked it? Robert Wright's measured and provocative reflections on useful Trump-Hitler comparisons. If this essay is interesting, then check out all three.

Ein letztes Mal in 2025 flüstern wir euch in die Lautsprecher. Erholsame Weihnachtstage liegen hinter uns. Wir gönnten uns den Boxing Day. Und nun ein weiteres Mal Fachsimpeln. Es hätte so schön sein können. So andächtig. So harmonisch. Doch Stephan hatte andere Pläne. Er hat Ehrenhörer Tillich in die letzte Ausgabe des Jahres eingeladen. Sagen wir es so: das sorgt natürlich für gewisse Spannungen, die ihr Spötter aber auch wollt.

In this episode the ground of being gang continues exploring revelation and reason within the context of Tillich's systematic theology. They discuss the nature of revelation, its phenomenological aspects, the tensions that arise in understanding it, and the personal experiences that shape one's understanding of the divine. Ultimately, they reflect on the purpose of revelation and its implications for contemporary issues, including artificial intelligence. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Why doesn't prayer work the way we want? You pray for healing, peace, or even a new job…and instead of a clear answer, it feels like God left you on “read.” If you've ever wondered why God doesn't answer prayers, you're not alone.In this episode of Together for Good, Pastor Nate explores the purpose of prayer from a Lutheran perspective, with a little help from three German theologians (Schleiermacher, Tillich, and Martin Luther). Think of it as a crash course in “Prayer for Real Life,” with fewer halos and more honesty.✨ What you'll hear:Why prayer isn't a vending machine (sorry, no button for instant miracles).How Christian theology explains unanswered prayers.Why even Jesus prayed for something and didn't get it.What prayer is really about: connection, trust, and God's presence in suffering.Whether you're searching for “why doesn't God answer my prayers,” “Christian teaching on unanswered prayers,” or just curious about how prayer actually works, this conversation is for you.

For this holiday weekend, Jay provides a reminder for the consistency of love. This is a direct battle against apathy and numbness. We need to be talking about the fight for humanity and the conflict that we are constantly faced with. It's devastating to have people be disappointed with us but we can't give up!It can be productive and rooted in love. There's a great section reviewing how Tillich describes indoctrination as well. If we recognize how we might have been manipulated, we can have a better chance of freeing ourselves to be able to choose love.

After a much needed summer break, we're back with the soft relaunch of Tillich Today. In this week's episode, we discuss the evolution of the podcast and begin the first of many deep dives into Paul Tillich's systematic theology trilogy. This includes a nice back and forth on the complexities of Tillich's thought, a look into his basic critiques of religious fundamentalism, and the distinction between theology and philosophy. We also discuss how Tillich's ideas challenge traditional notions of God and ultimate concern, emphasizing the importance of understanding these concepts beyond a strictly Christian framework.

Stefanie Kornherr von der Stef White Band hat sich für diese Folge „Reason to Believe“ von Bruce Springsteen aus dem Album Nebraska ausgesucht. Es ist eines ihrer Lieblingslieder von Bruce. Es erzählt von Menschen, die alles verloren haben. Keine lauten Geschichten, sondern leise: Ein Mann trauert um einen Hund. Eine Frau wartet vergeblich auf ihren Mann. Ein Prediger steht allein vor leeren Bänken. Und doch – am Ende jedes schweren Tages – finden sie einen Grund zu glauben.Aber woran glaubt man, wenn nichts mehr da ist? Das Lied gibt keine Antwort – und genau darin liegt seine Kraft. Vielleicht glauben wir nicht an ein Wunder, sondern einfach daran, dass morgen ein neuer Tag kommt. Dass wir weitergehen – nicht, weil alles gut ist, sondern weil die Zeit uns mitnimmt. Der stille Funke bleibt – nicht aus Hoffnung, nicht aus Gewissheit. Sondern vielleicht aus Gewohnheit, aus Trotz oder weil wir es selbst entscheiden. Und obwohl wir nicht wissen, warum, machen wir weiter. Aus freien Stücken – suchend, tastend, manchmal ohne Richtung. Aber aus uns heraus.„Deliver Me From Nowhere/Erlöse mich vor dem Nichts“ ist nicht nur der Titel eines Films, der bald über dieses Album erscheint, sondern auch des Buchs von Warren Zanes. Die Bedrohung des „Seins“ also unserer Existenz durch das Nichts bearbeitet auch der Theologe Paul Tillich, also kommt der auch ein wenig vor. Im Podcast kämpfen wir mit Stefanie, Bruce und Paul gegen das Nichts. Dem „Nichts“ Worte und Musik entgegensetzen Für Paul Tillich offenbart sich das Göttliche nicht im Spektakulären, sondern im Fragmentarischen, in den Brüchen. Er spricht von der „Offenbarung im Konkreten“ – also in den scheinbar beiläufigen Momenten. Das Heilige blitzt auf in der Alltäglichkeit, im Zwischenraum, wo das Nichts nicht ganz durchdringt – ich würde sagen: Bruce Springsteen erkennt die Glaubensrest im Alltäglichen und kann ihnen Töne und Sprache geben.Springsteen & Tillich wissen: Erlösung beginnt nicht mit Antwort, sondern mit Artikulation. Der erste Schritt ist: „Ich schreie.“ Und das Lied Reason to Believe ist so ein Schrei – kein Happy End, kein Licht, aber eine Stimme. Und das ist mehr als nichts.Stefanie erzählt von so einem magischen Moment – ein Springsteen Konzert in Prag ist ausgefallen. Ich kann mich ärgeren, oder ich kann singen… im Podcast hört ihr was passiert ist.Der Link führt euch zu einem Video wo Bruce Springsteen über die Entstehung des Albums spricht https://youtu.be/6fkqxgFv6ZY?si=xHIyGQOAdXWT9hbjFoto @ Danny ClinchHomepage: https://7tage1song.dePlaylist Podcast und Song: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/20KHRuuW0YqS7ZyHUdlKO4?si=b6ea0b237af041ecInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/7tage1song/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pg/7tage1song/Kontakt: post@7tage1song.deLink zum Song: https://open.spotify.com/intl-de/track/7tRIpQDyq22qkjdk4mzBrq?si=9ee7904d30d2486cSpotify Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0M5tOXTC0lM8RVycUBQnjy?si=idKC-CFaRp2ZD992gvWvsQ

In this conversation, I got to catch up with my friend Jacob Erickson, who's doing some inspiring work at Trinity College Dublin, where they've just launched a new Master's in Theology and Social Justice. What struck me most was how Jake and his colleagues are embodying this broader transformation happening in theological education - moving beyond those traditional disciplinary boundaries to create genuinely interdisciplinary spaces where theology isn't just talking aboutother fields, but actually thinking with scientists, activists, and practitioners. We dug into how this shift has happened over the last couple decades - from philosophers bracketing God to study religion as a phenomenon, to theologians like Tillich doing theology of culture, to the changing student body that's bringing questions that don't fit neatly into traditional confessional boxes. Jake's insights about wisdom versus knowledge really hit home - how religious traditions offer this "porous knowledge" that comes with demands and can't be separated from formation and embodiment. And I loved hearing about his work with plant studies and how hanging out with botanists and mycologists at Harvard is opening up new ways of thinking about everything from Christology to what it means to be entangled with other creatures. It's exactly the kind of risky, playful, boundary-crossing work that makes theology come alive. Dr. Jacob J. Erickson is Assistant Professor of Theological Ethics in the School of Religion, Theology, and Peace Studies at Trinity College Dublin. A constructive theologian and theological ethicist, Erickson writes to evoke an ecotheology of planetary conviviality--the playful and just cherishing of life together--in the midst of current ecological crises, ecological injustice, emerging perspectives in the wake of global warming, and new challenges in energy production.

They discuss the current challenges in academia, the relationship between theology and philosophy, and the implications of classical substance theism. Dr. Chicka introduces his work on pragmatic constructive realism and explores the influence of philosophers like Whitehead and theologians like Bart and Tillich on contemporary thought. In this conversation, Benjamin Chicka and Josh Patterson delve into the intersections of theology, culture, and the transformative power of symbols. They explore the concept of unconditioned reality, the role of theology in understanding culture, and how various forms of expression, including video games, can serve as avenues for theological exploration. The discussion also touches on the practical applications of theology in everyday life, the problem of evil, and the importance of human agency in enacting change. Ultimately, they emphasize the need for a more engaged and action-oriented approach to faith and theology. Enjoy!

This special episode was chosen by our Discord followers! We had a vote on our Discord channel for this very topic and now, Joshua Noel leads a thought-provoking discussion on the implications of artificial intelligence in video games from a Christian perspective, exploring how our interactions with AI reflect our values and beliefs. Joined by philosophy scholars Dr. Benjamin J. Chicka and Dr. Taylor Thomas (host of the podcast, "Tillich Today"), the conversation delves into the nature of AI, its representation in gaming, and how these representations challenge our understanding of humanity and morality. They examine the ethical dimensions of AI development, particularly regarding its impact on human lives and the potential for AI to influence our behavior and societal norms. The scholars share insights on Paul Tillich's theology and how it relates to contemporary issues surrounding technology and culture. Ultimately, the episode raises critical questions about our responsibilities to both AI and each other as we navigate an increasingly automated world.Central to the dialogue is the exploration of Paul Tillich's theology and how his concepts of symbols and participation can be applied to the digital realm of video games. The guests illuminate how symbols in gaming—like the representation of robots and AI—can challenge or reinforce our cultural values and perspectives on life.

In this episode, I am joined by Dr. John Thatamanil to discuss how Paul Tillich's theology understands God's relationship to history and incarnation. We discuss his Christian existentialism, the contrast between Chronos and Karios time, and his vision of the divine. Covering topics from Tillich's understanding of religious socialism to the complexities of conditioned and unconditioned existence, our dialogue offers a rich introductory exploration of Tillich's thought. We also engage the contemporary implications of Tillich's theology, making connections to modern societal issues and the lived reality of faith in challenging times.

This week Josh Patterson from the Rethinking Faith Podcast joins me to talk Tillich, Process Philosophy, and the Death of God!

This week my friend Dr. Taylor Thomas joins me to discuss your new favorite theologian... Paul Tillich. This episode is a crash course in all things Tillich! Whether you are a Tillich expert or have no idea who the hell Paul Tillich is, this episode is for you. Dr. Thomas takes us through the life and theology of Tillich in a way that is fun and accessible... she also throws some of her own hot takes in there so Tillich nerds look out! We discuss Tillich's notion of faith as ultimate concern, the role of doubt in faith, existentialism, God as the ground of being, the importance of symbol, a theology of culture, and so much more. This was such a fun conversation to have with Dr. Thomas. I hope you find it as helpful as I did!

Big doings for Jay recently! He fills us in on his trip to NYC to meet with the folks who are producing and performing the Broadway musical about his mom, including Sir Elton John! Crazy! Today talk though is a bit of an audible. It's a really great talk! It wasn't, however, the original talk he had planned—that talk got derailed when his plane ride home from NYC lost power and had to make an emergency landing! Scary stuff, but everyone is okay and safe and sound! But with that talk being too much to tackle on no sleep and a nightmare of a plane ride, Jay switched his focus to Paul Tillich and really knocks the talk out of the park. Tillich is an absolute favorite here at Revolution. Jay discusses two of Tillich's sermons and wow, do they get you thinking! Do non-Christians do a better job of showing love than Christians do? If we're void of love, are we void of God? Is genuine love the presence of God? What is calculated justice? Are we living a life of passionate grace, and passionate love? Or are we just calculating justice? Does the Golden Rule have limits? Does love have a limit? And maybe the heaviest hitting question of the bunch…Where does God abide?This talk was given on October 6, 2024 from Seattle, Washington.www.facebook.com/revolutionchurchmnwww.revolutionchurch.com/donatewww.youtube.com/revolutionbroadcasting@jaybakker@revolution1994@revolution94 Hosted on Acast.

Why do we do things we don't want to do? Why can't we always do what we want to? These are topics that Paul brings up in his letter to the Romans. It is also a concept that Revolution favorite Paul Tillich dives into when he discusses the concept of sin. At Revolution we believe in grace and acceptance over all things, that's why we put a lot of trust in our two Pauls! The Apostle, and Tillich. Together they make a great team in their exploration of grace, questioning the laws of religion, and what it means to truly feel accepted. At times probably almost everyone has felt that God hates them, or maybe God has left them. Where does this feeling come from? Is it possible that this feeling is also one of the closest ways to be connected to Jesus? Do the rules and laws of religion amplify these feelings? These feelings of a being sinful and useless and unloved, not accepted by God or the church or ourselves? Where does this roadblock come in? How can we get the breakthrough that's needed to understand grace? What does it mean to have a life above ourselves? This talk doesn't have all the answers, but it is a great, great, place to start as we try to figure out more about God and ourselves and others.This talk was given on Sept 22, 2024 from Seattle, Washington.www.facebook.com/revolutionchurchmnwww.revolutionchurch.com/donatewww.youtube.com/revolutionbroadcasting@jaybakker@revolution1994@revolution94 Hosted on Acast.

Is the apologetic enterprise coercing people outside the Christian faith into a decision on which their eternal fate depends, conceding the terms of the debate to the culture's notion of what's important, or making fruitful contact in ways specific to the person and situation? (I bet you can guess our answer.) In this episode, Dad and I examine some worse ways of making a defense for the faith that is within us en route to some recommendations of a more excellent way. Plus, Sarah complains even more about Tillich. Notes: 1.

I am thrilled about this episode in the ongoing Process This series on Artificial Intelligence. In this episode, my series co-host and author of God-Like: A 500-Year History of Artificial Intelligence in Myths, Machines, Monsters, Kester Brewin, is joined by philosopher John Caputo. The conversation occurred at the intersection of artificial intelligence, technology, and theology. They explore the mystical and philosophical implications of AI, reflecting on humanity's relationship with technology and the future of AI in reshaping our understanding of existence. They also touch on key figures such as Heidegger and Derrida, addressing both the potential and peril of technological advancements. Whether you're a theology nerd or a curious mind, this interdisciplinary dialogue promises an enlightening exploration into AI and the human future. John David Caputo (born October 26, 1940) is an American philosopher who is the Thomas J. Watson Professor of Religion Emeritus at Syracuse University and the David R. Cook Professor of Philosophy Emeritus at Villanova University. Caputo is a major figure associated with postmodern Christianity and continental philosophy of religion, as well as the founder of the theological movement known as weak theology. Much of Caputo's work focuses on hermeneutics, phenomenology, deconstruction and theology. Watch the conversation on YouTube here. Previous Episodes with Jack What to Believe?

Life is strange, and not in a good way. Things make less and less sense as we try and navigate these current times. We all feel it, we all dread what's coming around the corner…but we're all in it together. Since the beginning of the year we've been diving into the teachings of a few people from history. Unifiers and philosophers. We discussed what Tillich said about grace and inclusion. We discussed what Martin Luther King said about non-violence, grace, and inclusion. We discussed what John Hume said about grace and inclusion. Now let's dive in and see what Jesus has to say. What he says and what he does. How his actions speak just as loud as his words. For this, Jay looks at Matthew chapter 9—Jesus picking his disciples. Who did Jesus pick? From what walks of life? Were they good and righteous people? Beloved by all? Where did they stand in society, and how did people view them? Did any of this matter to Jesus? Did Jesus follow the pressure to hate who everyone else hated? It's important to look at passages like this because we are called to follow Christ. Follow his life and his example. We can only do that if we read and learn how he lived. By society's standards, Matthew shouldn't have ever been a disciple. But Jesus picked him all the same. What can we learn from that? Who are we in this story? Are we the unifiers? Are we the ones questioning why? Or are we the ones standing on the outside, feeling like outsiders? Jesus changed things, forever. That was the whole goal and the whole point of everything. So, we have to ask ourselves, is Jesus more upset over a sinful life…or is he more upset over a society that excludes others?This talk was given on July 14, 2024 from Seattle, Washington.www.facebook.com/revolutionchurchmnwww.revolutionchurch.com/donatewww.youtube.com/revolutionbroadcasting@jaybakker@revolution1994@revolution94 Hosted on Acast.

Today is Part 2 of our dive into Paul Tillich's sermon You Are Accepted. The sermon in itself is great on its own, but definitely worth the deep dive into it. Tillich's sermon brings up so many good points about grace and about looking inwardly at ourselves. Do we hurt others because of our feelings about ourselves? Does self-hate keep us from loving others? Do we project our feelings of not feeling accepted? In Corinthians Paul describes to us what love is, and all of the characteristics of love—is it possible that we can't show that sort of love to others if we can't show that level of love to ourselves? That is something Jay dives into in this talk, Tillich's idea of sin being this sort of estrangement to ourselves. Is that what makes us cruel to each other? Because what does that say about us when we are cruel to one another? What does Tillich mean when he mentions ‘being struck by Grace?' Is that important? Is that something that we need in our lives? To be struck by Grace? In this week's talk Jay, through the lens of Tillich's sermon, discusses all of this and more. It's a real great talk and we're excited to share it! You can hear the sermon in full, read by Peter Rollins, on the Revolution YouTube page, and wherever you listen to your podcasts.This talk was given on June 9, 2024 from Seattle, Washington.www.facebook.com/revolutionchurchmnwww.revolutionchurch.com/donatewww.youtube.com/revolutionbroadcasting@jaybakker@revolution1994@revolution94 Hosted on Acast.

Now that we're a few weeks removed from our Galatians series, Jay dives into another series of talks, this time he's talking about Paul Tillich. Tillich was both a theologian and a philosopher, so his thoughts and messages are right up our alley! Of all of Tillich's talks and teachings, Jay is focusing in on one right now—and that's Tillich's talk “You Are Accepted.” Along with Galatians, Jay believes this talk of Tillich's is one of the best things out there when it comes to grace, and he's not wrong! Tillich raises a lot of good points and good questions. What does he mean when he is talking about The Ground of Being? Is it possible that our theology is leading us in directions we're not even aware of? Why are we so fixated on division, and separating ourselves from each other? Are Sin and Grace the strangest words that we know of? Are they useless tools? Tillich talks about all of these things in this sermon—and Jay is diving in and helping us take a closer look at these points and questions in hopes that we all can get the most of Tillich's thoughts on grace and acceptance.

After a much needed Easter break, Tillich Today is back with Dr. Nimi Wariboko, scholar, professor, and all around smart cookie. We discuss Tillich's thought in the context of contemporary economics, Pentecostal theology, and moral philosophy.

Today, I'm joined by Tolkien Heads sensation Nick Polk. Together we'll explore the Lord of the Rings, the theology of Tolkien, Tillich, Process Theology, and much, much more. Those interested in middle earth, fantasy, and philosophy won't want to miss my conversation with Nick, whose an ace when it comes to talking Tolkien.

Tillich is well known for embracing a school of thought known as Neoplatonism, creatively pairing its ancient insights with his Existential worldview. Plotinus, popularly known as the first Neoplatonism, had a tremendous impact on Tillichian theology, particularly Tillich's understanding of God as the Ground of Being. Today, let's briefly examine some of his main his ideas to get a better sense of why Tillich may have found such inspiration in Plotinian philosophy.

How does one coherently speak about the ineffable? Was Paul Tillich a religious naturalist? This week, I talk with the ever stupendous Jeff Speaks about metaphysics, apophaticism, the complexities of naturalist theology, and how to best characterize Tillich's theological lens. This is an especially relevant episode for any one who, like Jeff and myself, thirsts for a philosophically informed spiritual framework but rejects supernaturalism. Jeff Speaks is a PhD Candidate at Boston University School of Theology studying theology, philosophy, and ethics.

Paul Tillich was a well known admirer of Nietzsche's philosophy. Reading Tillich with a close eye, the immense influence of good old Freddie on his own thought becomes crystal clear. Legend even has it that he carried a copy of at least one of Nietzsche's texts with him on the frontlines of the first world war. This week I am joined by Caroline Wall, a Boston University PhD student studying Nietzschean Ethics. With her help, let's take a dee dive into one of Tillich's foundational philosophical influences. This is the first in one of many episodes where we will be focusing on one of Tillich's major philosophical or theological influences and breaking down their ideas into bite sized pieces.

Why are we so afraid of facing death? What's it like to regularly see death and dying as an aspect of your work? Is there a better way to die? In this week's episode, I talk with Nathan Patti, a BU School of Theology graduate and chaplain resident at Yale New Haven Hospital. We discuss Tillich, drug addiction, chaplaincy, and what it means to be "called."

After reading Paul Tillich's The Courage to Be in his final year of college, Mark Muesse gave up his ambition to be a physician and decided to become a philosopher. His parents were not pleased. He began traveling the world to study its significant spiritual pathways and spent thirty years at Rhodes College sharing what he learned. Along with Tillich, his way has been illuminated by figures like Meister Eckhart, William James, Ibn ʿArabī, Confucius, and Willie Nelson. Now retired from academics, he tries to live a quiet life of reflection, still pondering the mysteries that prompted his turn to philosophy.

This week I sit down for conversation on Aquinas, Tillich, and much more with Sarah Thomas, A recent fellow for the North American Paul Tillich Society and a theology student at the Catholic University of America.

What is the relationship between faith and doubt? How do we overcome despair when confronting the ugliest dimensions of human nature? Can philosophy help us grapple with these issues? In this episode, Dr. Samuel Andrew Shearn drops by the Pod Beyond Pod to tackle these questions and discuss his book Pastor Tillich. We talk about Tillich's time as an army chaplain during WWI, his engagement with the German philosopher Friedrich Schelling, and the meaning of justification. Dr. Shearn's web links: https://doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780192857859.001.0001 https://www.ev.theologie.uni-mainz.de/systematische-theologie-und-sozialethik/samuel-shearn/

In this episode of Tillich Today, I sit down with Dr. Robert C. Neville, a renowned philosopher, theologian, and religious studies scholar. We talk about Tillich's understanding of God as the "ground of being", his relationship to non-western religious and philosophical traditions, his ambiguous identity as a Christian theologian, and what those uninterested in academic theology can learn by engaging with his work.

After giving Tillich his due in the last episode, in this one Sarah goes off, more or less blaming Tillich and his book The Courage to Be for everything that has gone wrong in American Lutheranism for the past 75 years. Overwrought and unjust? Probably. Dad makes the case for Tillich at least asking the right questions, and not accepting certain false solutions. But we both agree there is a more excellent way.

Here we are, week 2 and the conclusion of Paul Tillich's talk You Are Accepted. This week Jay finishes his study on this Tillich sermon. As Jay says a few times in this talk ‘let's not take these words lightly.' Last week we talked a bit about sin, but this week we're onto all the good stuff about grace. Do we know what it means to be struck by grace? Does being struck by grace mean we suddenly believe God exists? Or that Jesus is the savior? Or even that the bible contains the truth? Or is getting struck by grace something different that that? Is it better to refuse God and Jesus in the bible, or to accept them without grace? These are heavy thoughts, tricky to wrap our heads around. Because grace is bigger than we understand. As Tillich teaches, moral progress may be a fruit of grace, but it is not grace itself. And sometimes it can actually prevent us from receiving grace. Both Paul Tillich's original sermon, and Jay's discussion of it can really help us navigate such a tricky and complex topic. Helping us learn what grace is and accept it. And ourselves. And others. To not create God in the image of other Christians or people from church. To not become all of the things we hate. And maybe, just maybe, these discussions can help us on our fall into grace and what it means to be struck by it.Here is a link to Paul Tillich's “You Are Accepted”.

We made it through Galatians! And while we're always a bit bummed to finish up that study, this year we're immediately moving onto something just as great. Paul Tillich's talk You Are Accepted. In this first week of the study, Jay dives into some backstory onto who Tillich is and walks us through some of his credentials. Then we go right on in! There isn't much to say in this write-up because it's all in the talk today. It's all about learning what Tillich has to say on grace, and also try to sort out what ideas we might need to reject in order to better understand it. Because grace isn't always the easiest thing to explain. In fact, Tillich argues that it is just as hard to describe as sin is. It's a great talk that really pushes for a diversity of thought and the dangers of Christianity becoming more of a separator rather than a unifier. But, hey, nobody's perfect, we're all human and we're all flawed–we're working on it though! So, thank goodness for Paul TillichHere is a link to Paul Tillich's “You Are Accepted”.
