Paul Tillich explores "the Courage to Be."

Paul Tillich, a theologian in the Evangelical and Reformed tradition (forebears of the United Church of Christ) publishes The Courage to Be — later named by the New York Public Library as one of the "Books of the Century."
"Life demands again and again," he writes, "the courage to surrender some or even all security for the sake of full self-affirmation." For a list of 20 notable UCC Firsts, check out the More Options menu at the bottom of the left-hand column on this page.The United Church of Christ (UCC) is a union of four principal traditions: Congregational, Christian, Evangelical, and Reformed. Each of these traditions has left a mark on U.S. religious and political history, often in the lead on issues of peace, justice and equality.
