Paul Tillich

Paul Tillich

Paul Tillich
Fear is the absence of faith.
Paul Tillich
Genuine forgiveness is participation, reunion overcoming the powers of estrangement. . . We cannot love unless we have accepted forgiveness, and the deeper our experience of forgiveness is, the greater is our love.
Paul Tillich

Paul Tillich
