Paul Johannes Tillich was born a hundred years ago as is well-known. That he lived into the 1960s is equally wellknown and even what I and some others said of him in the mid and late sixties might be known. However, history moves on and we with it so that it is a different matter that is considered if one asks what his legacy is and what his significance is in the second half of this decade. That is what I want to do here and I want to highlight the legacy by asking whether he elucidates for us the concept of a world theology.
