Paul Johannes Tillich, a prominent German-American philosopher and theologian, was known for his contributions to Christian existentialism and Christian socialism. He taught at several universities in Germany before relocating to the United States in 1933, where he held positions at prestigious institutions such as Union Theological Seminary, Harvard University, and the University of Chicago. Tillich’s significant works include “The Courage to Be,” “Dynamics of Faith,” and the three-volume “Systematic Theology,” which addressed existentialist criticisms of Christianity. His influence was far-reaching, impacting scholars like Karl Barth, Reinhold Niebuhr, and Martin Luther King Jr., and his works continue to be studied globally.
