Here the focus is on the concepts of being and reason. Tillich shows how the quest for revelation is integral to reason itself. In the same way a description of the inner tensions of being leads to the recognition that the quest for God is implied in finite being. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Here also Tillich defines his thought in relation to philosophy and the Bible and sets forth his famous doctrine of God as the \"Ground of Being.\" Thus God is understood not as \u003ci\u003ea\u003c\/i\u003e being existing beside other beings, but as being-itself or the power of being in everything. God cannot be made into an object; religious knowledge is, therefore, necessarily symbolic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-342691\"\u003ePaul Tillich\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/1973\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 307\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.05h x 6.00w x 0.68d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226803371\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226803376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-REL\"\u003eReligion\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-REL067110\"\u003eChristian Theology | Systematic\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44442281541869,"sku":"9780226803371","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_4d30aeb8-14f9-456f-85a2-50e5f89b2356.jpg?v=1700203939","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/systematic-theology-volume-1-9780226803371","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
