Paul Tillich, theologian, and Charles Hartshorne, philosopher, both exemplify in their respective ways new types of theism alternative to models of the relation of theology and philosophy, faith and reason, influenced by Immanuel Kant and scientific positivism. This study shows how their views of the way God is known, of what is meant by «God,» and of God's relation to the world, can support a vital religious faith today. This is so, this study suggests, without abandoning the «modern» commitment to critical inquiry when this is chastened by a constructive sense of «postmodern» irony.
