TPHL 635 - Schleiermacher and Tillich3 credits
An examination of writings of two theologians of the liberal tradition. Schleiermacher (1768–1834) inaugurated the liberal strain in Protestantism with his revolutionary 1799 Speeches in which he shaped the emergent contours of a universal religion. In his 1822 Christian Faith he unfolded a phenomenology of consciousness that fulfilled the Kantian project for religion. Tillich (1886–1965), referring to Schleiermacher as his spiritual grandfather, developed an existential theology in dialogue with contemporary culture and in some respects brought the grand liberal tradition to a high water mark. His major work of 1951-1963, Sytematic Theology Vols. I, II, III, will be the focus of the course’s reflections. Signature of instructor required for registration.
