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.
