Abstract

AbstractIn my essay I try to show how both Tillich‘s concept of correlation and his method of correlation have developed since the 1920’s. My thesis is: In his lectures on Advanced Problems in Systematic Theology (1936-38) Tillich argues that the doctrines of Christian faith must be interpreted as answers to questions, implied in man’s existence. He is starting, however, with the theological concepts (revelation, God, Christology, Kingdom of God). This is the position (against dialectic theology) he already holds in his German period. The decisive about-turn is the logical and methodical conclusion to transform the answeringquestioning- scheme into a questioning-answering scheme and to make it the backbone of the structure of his Systematic Theology.
