Rediscovering Tillich

In getting ready for this coming Sunday's sermon on the first Corinthians chapter 13, I've had an opportunity to dig back into Paul Tillich's book Love, Power and Justice. I first ran across this book more than three decades ago when I was in seminary. I had already been moved by a great appreciation of Tillich's Systematic Theology, but was transfixed in a very special way by this small book on the ontology of love, power, and justice.

It has been with great delight that I have been rereading this; remembering some long-ago learnings; understanding for the first time passages that did not make sense those decades ago; and being able to understand the realities the book points towards in new ways since I am a very different person in this reading.
