Critic reviews

"Were I to choose the most significant book in religion published in the second half of the twentieth century, my choice would easily fall upon Paul Tillich's The Courage to Be." (Peter J. Gomes, Plummer Professor of Christian Morals and Pusey Minister in The Memorial Church, Harvard University)

a bit too much for me

it was good but too phylosophical for me, it made it really hard to follow some time.

Very academic, not as accessible as I’d hoped

So hard to grasp this book. Way over my mind. Highly intelligently. Very academic. Pity, few bits I grasped seemed golden. Must search for a breakdown.
