"Systematic Theology" by paul Tillich,1951
..
Man was created to be oriented by an ultimate concern ;
such a concern may be either for God or for some finite object.
.
Philosophy is the cognitive approach to reality in which reality is the object ;
theology is concerned with the meaning of being for men.
.
The sources of systematic theology are the Bible,tradition,and the history of religion and culture ; these sources are perceived through the medium of experience.
.
Revelational answers are taken by the theologian from the source,
through the medium,and under the norm -the New Being in Jesus as the Christ-.
.
Revelation,transcends the subject-object distinction ;
usually in a moment of "ontic shock",
the abrupt confrontation with the power of being,
one's finiteness is overcome by anticipation : this is salvation.
.
Religious symbols need not be true ;
it is enough that they be existentially effective,
that they evoke awareness of the power of being.
