Seminaries also compete-fiercely-for "name" theologians; Austin's President David Stitt complains that "it's worse than the used-car business." Perhaps the most ambitious talent-raiding these days is done by Chicago, which recently has signed up Paul Tillich from Harvard. Langdon Gilkey from Vanderbilt.

His contributors have taken a dim view of Paul Tillich's religious thought, and Editor Henry claims that the theology of Karl Barth is nullified by its internal contradictions.
