Call for Proposals

This Group welcomes proposals for individual papers and panels on the following issues in theology, religion, and culture that engage with Tillich or post-Tillichian thought:

  • The concept of individual selfhood in cognitive psychology/neurotheology
  • Radical doubt and ultimate concern in the postmodern matrix
  • Does secularism have religious dimensions?
  • Theological consequences of the economic crisis
  • The turn to (Neo)Platonism in recent theology

Other Tillich-related proposals will be seriously considered. Unless otherwise requested, proposals not scheduled are automatically passed on to the North American Paul Tillich Society for possible inclusion in their Annual Meeting. A winning student paper receives the $300 Annual Tillich Prize.

Mission

This Group fosters scholarship and scholarly exchanges that analyze, criticize, and interpret the thought or impact of Paul Tillich (1886–1965), and that use his thought — or use revisions of or reactions against his thought — to deal with contemporary issues in theology, religion, ethics, or the political, social, psychotherapeutic, scientific, or artistic spheres of human culture. We cooperate with the North American Paul Tillich Society (a Related Scholarly Organization of the AAR), which is linked with the German, French-speaking, and other Tillich societies. Papers at our sessions are published in the Society’s quarterly Bulletin without prejudice to their also appearing elsewhere.

Anonymity of Review Process

Proposer names are visible to Chairs but anonymous to Steering Committee Members.
