English summary: Paul Tillich (1886-1965) was one of the most distinguished Protestant theologians of the 20th century. As a thinker moving continuously between church and society, between religion and culture, he was a decisive factor in shaping the early phase of the so-called “Critical Theory of Society” of the Frankfurt School around Max Horkheimer and Theodor W. Adorno. For Tillich religion is “what concerns us absolutely”, and he considers the symbol to be the appropriate language to be used. The symbol opens up a dimension of reality which is closed to non-symbolic speech. Therefore we can speak of God only symbolically. In view of God vanishing from our current everyday life Tillich’s philosophical theology offers valuable approaches to speaking of God in a credible way. These are taken up by the contributors to this volume and applied fruitfully to our present situation. German description: Paul Tillich (1886-1965) zahlt zu den profiliertesten protestantischen Theologen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Als ein Denker, der sich stets zwischen Kirche und Gesellschaft, zwischen Religion und Kultur bewegte, pragte er die Fruhphase der sogenannten “Kritischen Theorie der Gesellschaft” der Frankfurter Schule um Max Horkheimer und Theodor W. Adorno entscheidend mit. Fur Tillich ist Religion das, was uns unbedingt angeht, wobei er das Symbol fur die angemessene Sprache halt. Das Symbol eroffnet eine Dimension der Wirklichkeit, die der nichtsymbolischen Rede verschlossen bleibt. Darum kann von Gott nur symbolisch geredet werden. Angesichts des heutigen Verschwindens Gottes aus dem Alltag bietet Tillichs philosophische Theologie wertvolle Ansatze, glaubwurdig von Gott zu reden. Diese nehmen die Beitrage des vorliegenden Bandes auf und machen sie in vielfacher Hinsicht fur die Gegenwart fruchtbar. Mit Beitrage von Martina Gnadt, Bernd Hildebrandt, Matthias von Kriegstein, Joachim Kunstmann, Wolfgang Pfuller, Andreas Rossler, Martin Schuck und Werner Zager.
