'"Cf. "Nothin g is more disastrous for the theologian
himself and more despicable to those whom he wants to
convince than a theology of self—certainty." Tillich, "The
Theologian," in The Shakin g of the Foundations. p. 125.

An anecdotal statement from one of Tillich's
students demonstrates this 'new' theologian's awareness of,
and continuity with, the 'old'. "I can recall another
gathering at the home of the theologian Paul Tillich during
my years at divinity school. We were sharing the struggles
of our souls, our doubts and despair, and I suppose we
expected the great theologian to say something. Instead he
went to his record player and turned on the 'Credo' from
Bach's 'B Minor Mass.' The response Tillich made to our
struggles with faith was to offer us the experience of
listenin g to the historic community of faith affirm its
faith in song." John H. Westerhoff III, Will Our Children
Have Faith? (New York: The Seabury Press, 1976), p. 63.
"Cf. "If we can look beyond ourselves at that which
is greater than we, then we can feel called to help others
in just the moment when we ourselves need help most
urgently--and astonishingly, we can help. A power works
throu gh us which is not of us." From "Spiritual Presence,"
in The Eternal Now. p. 68. Note also "What the Church
needs . . . are the strongest, most dynamic, most creative,
most daring types of men in which we find a high vitality in
balance with a profound spirituality." From an unpublished
lecture, "The Avowed Irrelevance of Christian Preaching to
the Contemporary World." Quoted in William T. Sanders,
"Paul Tillich: Apologetic Preacher of the Christian Faith,"
(Ph.D. dissertation at Florida State University, 1983), p.
