Professor Paul Tillich, German-American theologian and Harvard University faculty member, specialized in the study of the relationship between religious symbolism and Man’s quest for answers to the question of ‘human existence’. His lecture ” Symbols of Eternal life”, introduces Man’s experience with these symbols as a representation of eternal living. “Without the whole of religious experience and religious symbolism, the problem of the symbols of the eternal life, lose their basis and their meaning. They become a caricature of faith – they become superstition.” – Tillich.
Paul Tillich was one of the primary Protestant theologians of the 20th century. He is best known for developing his “method of correlation” between questions arising out of the human predicament and the answers given in the classical symbols of religion
