Paul Tillich and Delores Williams In Dialogue

The Tillich: Issues in Theology, Religion, and Culture, Womanist Approaches to Religion and Society, and Black Theology Units, in recognition of the 2022 passing of the prominent Womanist theologian Delores Williams, explores the intersections of and/or tensions between Williams’ Womanist theology and the thought of Tillich in terms of any of the following: culture and correlation; theology and aesthetics; the nature of sin and evil; survival and courage; salvation; Christology; the Black radical tradition and the Jewish prophetic tradition; the ministerial vision and the Jewish prophetic tradition; the nature and work of the church; racial narcissism and estrangement. We especially welcome papers considering Williams’ teaching on the aforementioned topics, as there has never been a formal conversation on her pedagogy.
