Paul Tillich bol nemecko-americký teológ a kresťanský existencialistický filozof, ktorý patril medzi štyroch najvplyvnejších protestantských teológov 20. storočia. Jeho dielo sa zaoberá prepojením teológie s modernou kultúrou a problémami ľudskej existencie, ktoré analyzuje prostredníctvom symbolov kresťanského zjavenia. Tillich vyvinul „metódu korelácie“, aby preskúmal, ako kresťanské posolstvá odpovedajú na pálčivé otázky súčasného človeka. Jeho práce sú prístupné aj širšiemu čitateľstvu a zameriavajú sa na odvahu byť a dynamiku viery.

Paul Tillich, one of the greatest Protestant theologians of modern times, wrote more than one hundred radio addresses that were braodcast into Nazi Germany from March 1942 through May 1944. The broadcasts were passionate and political--urging Germans to recognize the horror of Hitler and to reject a morally and spiritually bankrupt government. Laregly unknown in the United States, the broadcasts have been translated into English for the first time, and approximately half of them are presented in this book.
The book explores the perceived irrelevance of the Christian message in modern society, questioning its ability to address existential concerns. The author argues for a significant renewal in Christian teaching and preaching, emphasizing love as central to Christian identity. This renewal is presented as a collective responsibility, suggesting that both clergy and laypeople play vital roles in restoring the Gospel's relevance today.
In this volume, the second of his three-volume reinterpretation of Christian theology, Paul Tillich comes to grips with the central idea of his system—the doctrine of the Christ. Man's predicament is described as the state of "estrangement" from himself, from his world, and from the divine ground of his self and his world. This situation drives man to the quest for a new state of things, in which reconciliation and reunion conquer estrangement. This is the quest for the Christ.
