Paul Tillich's account of "ultimate concern" has been crucial for his theological legacy. It is a concept that has been taken up and adapted by many theologians in an array of subfields. However, Tillich's own account of ultimate concern and many of the subsequent uses of it have focused on intelligibility: the ways it makes what is ultimate more accessible to us as rational beings.
Contributors include: David H. Nikkel, Kayko Driedger Hesslein, Beth Ritter-Conn, Tyler Atkinson, Courtney Wilder, Adam Pryor, and Devan Stahl.

In recent decades, many moral philosophers have begun to think more carefully about the significance of our inveterate story-telling habits for moral reflection. For some time those who promoted narrative’s central role for ethics on a variety of levels seemed to be commanding the field; but more recently skeptics of narrative’s relevance have begun to mount a vigorous resistance. Some of these struggles have played out on the terrain of Kierkegaard studies, and this book seeks to move the battle lines forward, both with respect to the significance of narrative more generally and to its place in Kierkegaard’s authorship.

"[Adam] seeks to establish that NT theology need not bee founded on warrants derived from historical-critical reasoning. After presenting a physiognomy of modernity, he discusses modern NT theology, the modern consensusin NT theology , modern NT theology under interrogation, the philosophical erosion of modernity, and prospects for non-modern NT theology. He concludes that NT theologians who feel unreasonably constrained by the imperatives that modenr NT theology requires should look for legitimation from the particualr reading formations that motivate their discomfort with modernity, not from the modernity that constrains them."
