This book does great justice to Tillich's theological legacy. It is a must read for Pentecostal theologians and Tillich scholars. . . . Highly recommended. * Choice *
These essays are remarkably clear and well-balanced. The essayists read Tillich empathetically and acutely, noting both the prospective values in Tillich for Pentecostals as well as points of divergence and disagreement. * Reading Religion *
