I think Tillich begins with an assumption of a God as being infinite and all else finite. He also said,
"It is not the unconditional demand made by that which is one's ultimate concern, it is also the promise of ultimate fulfillment which is accepted in the act of faith."
He would say the ultimate concern can be pinpointed by one's ultimate fulfillment and all finite fulfillments are eventually revealed and let us down. ie. nationalism, promise of wealth and hapiness, etc.
I don't subscribe to his philosophy either, I was just attempting to give another perspective or definition of faith from a Christian viewpoint.
I can't really argue for him since his system has been revealed as a finite ultimate concern.lol...... |
