During this modern age few theologians have
had more influence than Paul Tillich. His approach to cosmic questions dealt
with the method of correlation found in science and the meaning of faith. In
terms of his theological method Tillich's basic presupposition is that 'faith
need not be unacceptable to contemporary culture and contemporary culture need
not be unacceptable to faith' (Ford p.
88). Thus he sought to develop what has
been termed a 'theology of culture' using the method of correlation. His appeal
can be seen in his remarks: “Theology must be "answering
theology"; it must adapt the Christian message to the modern mind while
maintaining its essential truth and unique character” (Grenz/Olson
p.117)
