Selected as one of the Books of the Century by the New York Public Library "The brilliance, the wealth of illustration, and the aptness of personal application . . . make the reading of these chapters an exciting experience."--W. Norman Pittenger, New York Times Book Review "The Courage to Be changed my life. It also profoundly impacted the lives of many others from my generation. Now Harvey Cox's fresh introduction helps to open up this powerful reading experience to the current generation."--Robert N. Bellah, University of California, Berkeley Originally published in 1952, The Courage to Be has become a classic of twentieth-century religious and philosophical thought. The great Christian existentialist thinker Paul Tillich describes the dilemma of modern humankind and points a way to the conquest of the problem of anxiety. This edition includes a new introduction by Harvey Cox that situates the book within the theological conversation into which it first appeared and conveys its continued relevance in the current century.
"Es un libro maravilloso, las ideas de Tillich son bien organizadas y sistematizadas. Es un análisis histórico de las preocupaciones existenciales en el hombre; la culpa, el sin sentido, la muerte y como estas han sido abordadas por una actitud existencial como el coraje en diferentes cosmovisiones y en el cristianismo. Tengo la edición en español pero me gustaría tener esta en ingles. "
