Pojem přijetí v amerických kázáních Paula Tillicha

Chalupníček, Pavel

This thesis attempts to analyze the way in which German-American theologian Paul Tillich uses the notion of "acceptance" in sermons from his American period. Tillich's theology is distinguished by his search for new terms that, according to his opinion, could better approximate the message of Christianity for contemporary readers. In this search he does not hesitate to use terms from the sphere of philosophy, sociology or psychology. This approach is strongly reflected also in his sermons and his use of "acceptance" was selected as its model example: Tillich uses "acceptance" to approximate traditional Lutheran teaching on justification by God's grace (sola gratia). At the same time, as he "translates" traditional theological vocabulary into the language common in other disciplines, he exposes himself to criticism and questions regarding the legitimacy of his endeavour. Therefore, this thesis also deals with three main streams of criticism directed towards Tillich's use of "acceptance": (a) criticism of the "correlation" between theology and psychology, (b) criticism of the nature of Tillich's teaching on justification/acceptance, (c) criticism of excessively active or passive nature of "acceptance" in Tillich's theology.
