The first book I received as a newly minted college student was Man's Search for Meaning and I have been fascinated with Frankl ever since. However, it never crossed my mind to think of him as a guru of death although he was intimately familiar with death and its destructiveness. Looking forward to hearing more about this topic!
Wow, similar journey here. Mine was Kierkegaard to Nietzsche to Tillich and on to Rollo May. Tillich gets a bad wrap because I think he was struggling from a different perspective than the theological orthodoxy was used to and so he was dismissed as a heretic. But his thinking is so practical for the deconstructing movement today.
Richard, thanks ahead of time for the series on existentialist theology. I'm looking forward to reading your thoughts. I'm very much interested in this topic.
Can’t wait, Dr. Beck. Looking forward to it. Death is a great starting point;)
