Review
“A lucid and arresting book.”—Frances Witherspoon, New York Herald
Tribune
“Paul Tillich is the most profound theologian of
post-fundamentalist religion. As Harvey Cox makes clear in his new
introduction, this book is a classic awaiting re-discovery by a new
generation.”—Tom F. Driver, Paul J. Tillich Professor of Theology
and Culture Emeritus, Union Theological Seminary in New York
“The Courage to Be changed my life. It also profoundly impacted the
lives of many others from my generation. Now Harvey Cox’s fresh
introduction helps to open up this powerful reading experience to
the current generation.”—Robert N. Bellah, University of
California, Berkeley
“The essential character of courage, for Tillich, is ‘in spite of.’
We must go on striving for freedom, justice, and our faith in spite
of oppositions. In this age of late capitalism, globalization, and
terrorism, we all need the virtue of courage, as Harvey Cox
admirably argues in the foreword.”—Nimi Wariboko, Andover Newton
Theological School
“Tillich struggled with the existential question how we may
overcome the demoralizing effects, on the individual and society,
of our Age of Anxiety. In this, his most popular book, Tillich
gives us his deeply thought answers, and Harvey Cox provides a
helpful new introduction.”—Gerald Holton, Harvard University
