| Summary: | I argue that Tillich’s early articulation of his method of correlation establishes a foundation that remains continuous throughout Tillich’s mature development of the method. Though susceptible to criticisms, Tillich’s method of correlation helps lay a groundwork for a dynamic theology of culture that can inform current responses to racialized violence and serve as a useful interlocutor with womanist theologians and the Black Lives Matter movement. I aim 1) to redress tendencies of scholars to underappreciate continuities between Tillich’s early and later writings and 2) to demonstrate that Tillich’s method of correlation remains relevant for contemporary crises that challenge theological and cultural imaginations. |
