The Systematic Theology of Paul Tillich and His Doctrine of the Church
Abstract
The main purpose of this paper is to examine Paul Tillich's
doctrine of the church. However, understanding his doctrine of
the church is not possible without first understanding his systematic theology as a whole and his doctrine of the
Spiritual Presence. These two form the foundation out of
which his doctrine of the church naturally develops.
So, we begin with a discussion of Tillich's systematic theology.
