       ---------------------------------------------------------
       So finishing up with "The Essential Tillich" by F. Forrester
       Church.  I won't pretend that the book was easy to read, it was
       challenging.  But no one better qualified than Church to
       anthologize Tillich.
       If most people in the US though like Tillich and Church, this
       would be an entirely different country.  And the I AM A
       CHRISTIAN INDUSTRY would explode into flames just like the
       Hindenburg.
       So I want to record some stuff from the book:
       So Church says that when he came to Harvard Divinity School,
       there were followers of Tillich, and also of Barth, Bultman,
       Bonhoeffer, and Brunner.  And I know that there were even more
       from that generation.
       So Church has selected Tillich pieces from:
       "The Lost Dimension in Religion", Saturday Evening Post 230, no.
       50 June 14, 1958.
       Dynamics of Faith
       The New Being
       "Religious Symbols and Our Knowledge of God", Christian Scholar,
       Sept 1955
       The Eternal Now
       Systematic Theology Vol. 1, 2, 3
       The Protestant Era
       The Socialist Decision
       Love Power and Justice
       The Courage To Be
       The Shaking of the Foundations
       Biblical Religion and the Search for the Ultimate Reality
       And when talking about relations with other religions, Tillich
       endorses Karl Barth.
       Talking about "Faith and the Dynamics of the Holy", Tillich
       talks about Rudolph Otto and his book, "The Idea of the Holy".
       Otto talks about the "fascinating and shaking character of the
       holy".
