Die Macht des Mythos - Das Mythosverständnis Paul Tillichs im Kontext

This volume engages in the first systematic exploration of Paul Tillich’s understanding of myth. The essays describe the evolution of the notion of myth since the Enlightenment along with the progression of Tillich’s own ideas about myth throughout his works, in the context of contemporary discourse. In this way, the volume elucidates a key element in Tillich’s religious philosophy and theology.
