The God Who Is There
by Francis A. Schaeffer, James W. Sire
by Francis A. Schaeffer, James W. Sire
Schaeffer shares an anecdote about Paul Tillich that stuck with me. He relates how Tillich was asked in an interview if he ever prayed. Tillich said that he didn't, but that he meditates. I assumed that this was because Tillich doesn't believe in relationship with a personal god. I shared this anecdote with a friend, and she said that she was almost certain that he meditates on scripture.
What Tillich has to offer is less rich than orthodox Christianity, but it is important because he is able to share Christ with people who don't believe in orthodox Christianity.
I think Schaeffer is too hasty in writing off Tillich.
Nevertheless, this is a fine book.
