Christopher Landers Ms. Jung Ha Kim‚ Ph.D. Sociology 1101‚ 11:00-11:50TT #9 H.W November 19 2015 Religious Faith One point of view I’d like people to consider is that nowadays sociology has taken the role of religion in a belief system.

Tillich talks about the total demand of faith which is giving total surrender to your faith. The two others are threat and promise. The threat being that if a person does all things morally correct and is active in their faith‚ there is a possibility that they will not receive fulfillment.

In regards to faith‚ “faith is the state of being ultimately concerned”
