Gordon Clark: Review of “The Theology of Paul Tillich,” by Charles W. Kegley and Robert W. Bretall (The Presbyterian Journal)

1961. Review of “The Theology of Paul Tillich,” by Charles W. Kegley and Robert W. Bretall. The Presbyterian Journal, XX.

THE THEOLOGY OF PAUL TILLICH, ed. by Charles W. Kegley and Robert W. Bretall. The Macmillan Co., New York. 370 pp. $1.95. 

This is a paperback reprint of a 1952 publication. It begins with an autobiographical chapter, continues with fourteen interpretative essays, and concludes with a reply by Tillich. We may agree with the editors that Tillich is a great thinker, to be classed with Dewey, Whitehead, Russell and Santayana, but a wry smile appears when the eulogy boasts that Tillich's "feet are solidly planted upon Christian soil, rooted in the Word of God."
