Theological Reflections on Advent Preaching

This chapter explores the influence of Paul Tillich's theology on preaching during the Advent season, focusing on the interplay between historical context and the Christian narrative of incarnation. It critiques traditional views of God, emphasizing the dynamic relationship between the finite and the infinite, and the importance of true ultimate concern. The discussion also contrasts Tillich's existential understanding of faith with more narrow interpretations, highlighting the relevance of understanding divine revelation within the complexities of human longing.
