| Abstract: | An understanding of Tillich's Protestant principle is crucial if one is to deal with this significant theologian's theology of culture. This "principle" is fundamental in Tillich's rejection of pure autonomy and heteronomy, as he moves toward the ideal in theonomy. The purpose of this article is first of all to define the principle and then locate and explain its main tenets: justification through faith; refusal to leave the boundary; resistance of dogma; support for theological development; and rooting authority in Grace. We will conclude with Tillich's remarks on the future significance of this principle. |
