In this classic and deeply insightful book, one of the world’s most eminent philosophers describes the dilemma of modern man and points a way to the conquest of the problem of anxiety.

Paul Tillich (1886–1965), world-renowned philosopher and theologian, taught in several German universities until he was dismissed in 1933 because of his opposition to the Nazi regime. In America he was affiliated with the Union Theological Seminary, Harvard University, and the University of Chicago.

Mort Crim (narrator) is the winner of the prestigious Audie Award (Audio Publishers Association). He is a former television news anchor in Chicago, Philadelphia, and Detroit. He was the inspiration for Will Ferrell's 'Ron Burgundy' in the films, Anchorman and its sequel.
