Paul Tillich (1886-1965) is generally considered the most original and insightful theologian of the 20th century.

Using its insights to better understand human doubts and anxiety, as well as to challenge life's destructive forces, he very early on identified the dangers of scientific materialism, religious fundamentalism, and industrialization and its commodification of nature. Exposing the sense of ...

The biggest joke in existence is that all of it was rejected by the Peer Review Committee.

Absolutely not. Skeletons, lungs, warm blood? Denied for budgetary reasons. Fire? Introduces catastrophic risk without ...
