Dr. Tillich shows here that in spite of the contrast between philosophical and biblical language, it is neither necessary nor possible to separate them from each other. On the contrary, all the symbols used in biblical religion drive inescapably toward the philosophical quest for being. An important statement of a great theologian's position, this book presents an eloquent plea for the essential function of philosophy in religious thought.

Here Tillich is in part responding to critics of his use of philosophy within religion, and lays out an argument for how the Bible repeatedly points towards the ontological. He covers a lot of meaty ground in very few pages, and I can't help but feel it should have been longer. That being said, it's very readable, even if he loses me at points.
I recently read The Courage to Be, which perhaps made this feel all the more palatable, but this still seems like a good primer, despite coming after. Courage to Be is more rigidly philosophical and barely theological in its bulk, but this feels more balanced and accessible by comparison.
It's amazing how someone so confusing can remain so compelling. ( )
