Language: English ISBN: 9781498207171 This book offers a moving tribute to one of the twentieth century's most seminal philosophers and theologians, Paul Tillich. In fact, it is widely accepted as the standard biography for Tillich. A soberly objective portrait, it was supported by Tillich himself, who hoped that the full telling of his story would set in context its unconventional aspects (as told in books by Hannah Tillich and Rollo May). Wilhelm and Marion Pauck have recreated the many-sided ""Paulus"" in all his greatness and humanness. Tracing the development of Tillich's thought alongside the unfolding of his life in Germany and the United States, the authors have provided an excellent model of biographical research. ""Many of us have been waiting a long time for this truly definitive life of Paul Tillich. The wait has been worth it. The Paucks have recreated the many-sided 'Paulus' for us in all his greatness and humanness. And they have done so with erudition, care, and love."" --Robert McAfee Brown ""Not only have the Paucks given an absorbing account of the development of the man, but they have provided as well an excellent model of biographical research."" --America ""A moving tribute to one of this century's important figures."" --Publishers Weekly ""A soberly objective portrait, aggressively supported by Tillich himself, who hoped that the full telling of his story would set in context its unconventional aspects (especially the eroticism revealed in books by Hannah Tillich and Rollo May) and thus prevent their undermining his intellectual achievement."" --Kirkus Reviews Wilhelm Pauck (1901-81) studied with Harnack and Troeltsch at the University of Berlin and became the first foreign student at the University of Chicago in 1925.
