At the intersection of existentialism, theology, and autobiography stands Paul Tillich's My Search for Absolutes, a profound intellectual memoir in which one of the twentieth century's most towering theological minds chronicles his lifelong quest to reconcile the finite condition of human existence with the infinite ground of being. Tillich presents his philosophical journey with remarkable candour, tracing the development of his core concepts — from the nature of God and ultimate concern to the courage to be — through the lens of personal experience, historical upheaval, and rigorous academic inquiry. The work is further distinguished by the witty and evocative drawings of Saul Steinberg, whose visual commentary weaves seamlessly alongside Tillich's text, creating a rare and intellectually stimulating dialogue between word and image. Part of the prestigious Credo Perspectives series, this volume argues that the search for absolutes is not a retreat from the modern world but the very heart of what it means to be human. Tillich's prose is lucid yet profound, accessible to the general reader while retaining the conceptual rigour that secured his reputation at Harvard and Union Theological Seminary. For anyone who has wrestled with questions of faith, doubt, meaning, and existence, this book presents an irresistible invitation to think more deeply about the ground beneath our feet — and what, if anything, lies beneath that.
