The topic of revelation is fundamental to any account of religious experience, playing a special role in the Judeo-Christian tradition where the texts of Scripture are regarded as revealed. Yet, any reflection on the revealed status of a given message or text requires interpretation. Paul Ricœur, one of the most important hermeneutic philosophers of the twentieth century, provides crucial insights on how such interpretation might proceed and what it might mean for texts to be revealed. Edited by Christina M. Gschwandtner, Paul Ricoeur, Philosophical Hermeneutics, and the Question of Revelation brings together major scholars of Ricœur’s work on the topic of revelation, showing both the role it already plays in his work and how his thinking might be taken further. Several contributors trace the development of his thought in regard to the concept of revelation. Others discuss the revelatory dimensions of Ricœur’s hermeneutics of the self, especially for such issues as identity, trauma, and forgiveness. Several contributions also place his work in conversation with that of other seminal thinkers on the topic of revelation, such as Karl Barth and Paul Tillich.

Paul Tillich is exceptional in modern theologians that his distinctive and abundant understanding of the concept of life and spirit has the potential to engage with other disciplines, such as biology, psychology, cosmology and social science; and that his ontological understanding of “life as spirit” which is so crucial in the ecological consideration, is so complex and subtle that enables powerful and critical inter-religious dialogue in environmental ethics. This book argues that, despite the fact that Tillich did not engage in ecological and environmental theology directly, his abundant personal experience of nature-mysticism and intellectual understanding of the idea of nature rooted in his Lutheran and German idealist heritages and, more importantly, his ontological-pneumatological holistic and multi-dimensional conception of unifying and differentiated reality, perfectly and organically coupled with the theonomous vision of theology of culture, nature and morality is profoundly ecologically oriented.

This collection of essays considers various aspects of Paul Tillich's theology of nature, culture, and politics in relation to major theological movements, thinkers, and events of the twentieth century. These essays are not purely an exercise in historical theology but an apology for Tillich's theological, philosophical, and ethical project. The underlying assumption is that Tillich's theology, both in form and content, is worth reading and learning from in the modern and postmodern era, even though we inhabit today an intellectual environment not very amenable to Tillich's form of mediation.

C'est une v'erit'e de manuels scolaires : Paul Tillich et Karl Barth, tous deux n'es en 1886, ont 'elabor'e des th'eologies tres diff'erentes, apres avoir 'et'e proches a la fois th'eologiquement et politiquement. Au-dela de cette g'en'eralisation aussi vraie que fausse, qu'en est-il de leurs sources ? De la maturation de leur pens'ee et de la naissance de leurs principales oeuvres ? Quelle a 'et'e leur « communaut'e souterraine de travail » et sur quels enjeux portaient leurs v'eritables conflits ? Ce recueil r'eunit les 'eclairages de grands sp'ecialistes et de jeunes chercheurs, th'eologien-nes et philosophes ; il permet de renouveler l'intelligence de ce que furent les accords et les antagonismes entre les deux g'eants de la th'eologie protestante, un siecle apres leur premiere rencontre. Les enseignements sont multiples et touchent a de nombreux sujets actuels.
