destroyed itself completely. . . ." ¹⁰ Formally, the difference between
Tillich's "Protestant synthesis" and that of Scholasticism is the differ-
ence between a correlation of negative and positive (question and
answer, philosophy and theology, reason and revelation) and a
correlation of two positives (natural knowledge and revealed truth);
actually the gulf is much wider--between a prescientific Weltan-
schauung claiming finality for itself, and one which is everywhere
cognizant of science and its implications, and which above all claims
no such finality. ¹¹

One of the chief aims of this first volume is to establish a new
pattern of theological discussion which will be serviceable in the
future. The form or structure will remain the same; the content will
vary as forthcoming volumes are devoted to the thought of the pre-
eminent minds of our age who have already agreed to be "subjects,"
for example, Reinhold Niebuhr, Emil Brunner, and Karl Barth.
