...Tillichs were the Zelda and Scott Fitzgerald of Germany's intellectual set, bouncing from Berlin to Marburg to Dresden on a wave of popularity amid the desperate decadence of the Weimar Republic. Both had been married before. Tillich's first wife was carrying another man's child when Paulus, a front-line chaplain, returned from the disasters of World War I. Hannah was still married to her first husband and was carrying his child when she packed up and left to be with Tillich...

Lady Fair. A somewhat different view of Tillich's libido appears in another book to be published this month, Paulus (Harper & Row; $5.95). Written by his former student, Rollo May, it suggests that Tillich's pursuit of women was more sensual than sexual. To May, Tillich was in the medieval mold, a throwback to the age of chivalry, an incurable romantic who could scarcely write a book-even his best theology -without at least inwardly dedicating it to some lady fair.
