APRIL SERIES (no seminar on Easter Sunday, April 4)
April 11, 18, 25
Reinhold Niebuhr and Paul Tillich
John E. Wilson
Niebuhr and Tillich were the most influential American theologians of the 20th century, and their influence and importance have continued into this century. They were at one time colleagues at Union Theological Seminary in New York; Tillich was later professor of theology at Harvard and the University of Chicago. More than any other theologian, Niebuhr has informed the way the traditional "mainline" churches approach social ethics, while Tillich remains the most prominent representative of "liberal" theology. This series will provide an introduction and review, especially by way of a consideration of texts selected from their publications.
Please join us as we learn about how these two theologians, each great in his own way, continue to influence how we practice Christianity in today’s world.
John E. Wilson is a former professor of church history at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. His several books are in the area of modern theology, but at PTS he taught all areas of church history. He is married to Nana, who facilitates the Centering Prayer group at Westminster. They have three grown children and three grandchildren.
