About the Book

Pomeroy gives the reader a clear view of the Systematic Theology of Paul Tillich, perhaps the greatest theologian of the 20th century. Tillich's theology addresses a wide range of theological issues beginning with the nature of God and ending with the nature of Eternal Life.

Using the latest in social science analysis, Tillich identifies specific conditions confronted by individuals and nations, addressing each from a Bible-based theological standpoint. At the end of each chapter Pomeroy illustrates the issues at hand with real life stories or reflections from leading scientists, theologians and social scientists. This is then followed by discussion questions.

The book is a welcome relief for theologians and lay people alike as it has depth without all those written words. For a mainline church study group it is a primer.


About the Author

At age 55 Pomeroy began seminary where he was introduced to the theolgy of Paul Tillich. He was fascinated by Tillich's theology as it addressed the basic meaning behind many of his life experiences as a forest ranger, as a Job Corps Director (during the War On Poverty), and as a Peace Corps volunteer with his wife Olive.
