The book explores Paul Tillich's unique theological perspectives, emphasizing his complex understanding of "life as spirit" and its relevance to ecological issues. It highlights his ability to engage with various disciplines, including biology and psychology, and argues that his experiences with nature-mysticism and his Lutheran roots contribute to a profound ecological orientation. Despite not directly addressing environmental theology, Tillich's holistic view of reality and the interplay of culture, nature, and morality foster critical inter-religious dialogue in environmental ethics.

This volume investigates Paul Tillich’s relationship to Asian religions and locates Tillich in a global religious context. It appreciates Tillich’s heritage within the western and eastern religious contexts and explores the possibility of global religious-cultural understanding through the dialogue of Tillich’s thought and East-West religious-cultural matrix.
