| Abstract: | Abstract : Paul Tillich holds that it is the responsibility of every generation to free the received tradition from assumptions that limit the vitality of Christian concepts. Salvation is often held hostage to an exclusive view that limits it to the people who have had contact with Jesus Christ. Tillich holds that Jesus as the Christ as the New Being overcame existential estrangement, making salvation a dynamic power that contends with the anxiety that is the inevitable accompaniment of finitude. This has universal implications. |
