"Paul Tillich, the well-known German-American Protestant philosophical theologian, died on October 23, 1965, at the age of seventy-nine. I experienced a deep sense of personal loss upon hearing of his death. The man with whose ideas I have been jousting
for the past half dozen years was suddenly gone. He has left a truly
impressive legacy. He was honest, intellectually able, and enormously
learned; his writing was powerful and convincing. He was the author
of thirty-five books and nearly four hundred additional essays. The
literature on his thought is a remarkable witness to both the extent
of his influence and the power of his intellect; it now numbers some
four hundred and eighty books and articles and some seventy-three
dissertations and it grows by the day.
His influence, equal almost to his reputation, has become pervasive; he has had an impact far beyond strictly theological circles in
such varied areas as philosophy, the arts (especially the visual arts),
sociology, psychotherapy, and politics." [Author]
