Critic Reviews

"Were I to choose the most significant book in religion published in the second half of the twentieth century, my choice would easily fall upon Paul Tillich's The Courage to Be." (Peter J. Gomes, Plummer Professor of Christian Morals and Pusey Minister in The Memorial Church, Harvard University)
All stars
Most relevant  
Bland narration and the verbose writing style of this book made for a poor audiobook. Fortunately Tillich's ideas are worth listening to.
