Violin Concerto played by David Oistrakh (violin)
U.S.S.R. State Symphony Orchestra
Conducted by A. V. Hauk on gramophone records
by Professor Paul Tillich of the Union Theological Seminary
New York
Professor Tillich recently visited this country to give a series of lectures at Nottingham University, and this talk is based on ideas from these lectures. He discusses the meaning of the concepts of love, power, and justice from the point of view that they all have their roots in the depth of ultimate reality. He believes that it is impossible to think about them fruitfully without thinking about their sources in the nature of man and beyond this in the nature of life itself.
