Intro to Religiion

Jake Walton There be numerous different definitions of piety, but two we are studying about is Paul Tillichs definition and Melford E. Spiros definition. Paul Tillich is a Christian theologian and philosopher who defined morality the state of being grasped by an crowning(prenominal) concern, a concern which qualifies all(a) new(prenominal) concerns as foregoing and which itself contains the function to the nub of life.Melford Spiro, a contemporary anthropologist defined religion an institution consisting of culturally patterened interaction with culturally postulated superhuman beings. I prefer Tillichs definition. I prefer Paul Tillichs definition because I am a Christian and I can touch on to what he is saying with his definition. As a Christian, divinity is your ultimate concern, just akin Tillich said. paragon comes forrader everything. He is your scarce way to heaven. So you ease up to energize him your ultimate concern by quick for him every day.Tillichs defi nition went on to say a concern that qualifies all early(a) concerns as a preliminary, this means that God comes before anything else in life. Nothing should ever come before God. Everything else should just be a preliminary, or minute to God. The last part of Tillichs definition says a concern which contains the answer to the question of the meaning of life. This means that God is the meaning of life. I prefer Tillichs definition because this is what I believe.I believe that God is the answer to what is the meaning of life, he has a purpose for everyone and everyones life. God should be your ultimate concern if you want to go to heaven, He is the only way in. You confirm to live your life through him, and to do that he has to be your corkingest concern. If other things get in the way you have to put them off and make them second to God. Never let anything get in the way of you and God. I feel Tillichs definition of religion is a great definition of religion.
