Sommario/riassunto

In this classic of religious studies and philosophy, the great Christian existentialist thinker Paul Tillich describes the dilemma of modern man and points a way to the conquest of the problem of anxiety. This edition includes a new introduction by the esteemed theologian Peter J. Gomes that reflects on the impact of this book in the years since it was written. "Were I to choose the most significant book in religion published in the second half of the twentieth century, my choice would fall easily upon Paul Tillich's The Courage to Be."-Peter J. Gomes "The brilliance, the wealth of illustration, and the aptness of personal



application . . . make the reading of these chapters an exciting experience."-W. Norman Pittenger, New York Times Book Review" A lucid and arresting book."-Frances Witherspoon, New York Herald Tribune "Clear, uncluttered thinking and lucid writing mark Mr. Tillich's study as a distinguished and readable one."-American Scholar
