Produktbeschreibung
Theology, like culture, is dynamic and therefore
ought to be examined concurrently with social
movement as it takes place. At the same time,
because theology like culture is dynamic, campaigns
for social justice that provide theological
reasons for its mobilizing message will
articulate a relevant language to stimulate a
community and direct a mindset for social change.
Paul Tillich s Method of Correlation aims to connect
the questions produced through the analysis of modern
culture with the answers provided by the symbols used
in the Christian message. This method is applied to
an examination of theological reasoning behind the
Right to Life social movement (RTLM) to exhibit how
pro-life language has an inherent connection to
Tillich s articulation of symbols and to show how
this movement has shaped the political and religious
nature of the modern United States. This premise aims
to contribute a new dimension to the evaluation of
the pro-life argument, and demonstrate that in
viewing social activism through a Tillichian lens we
see the necessity for evaluating theology and culture
in tandem.
