Rechtfertigung Und Neues Sein

Justification and New Being are two main concepts in Paul Tillich's theology. The concept of justification on the one side shows Tillich's theology against the background of the Lutheran theological tradition - the new being on the other side includes the horizon of problems in modernity. This book presents with the early article Justification and Doubt (1924) and the late essay The Importance of New Being for Christian Theology (1955) two main works from Tillich with a close interpretation. Both texts make clear how Tillich works on a modern interpretation of the Christian faith and a modern theology.
