The name of this infinite and inexhaustible depth and ground of all being is God.

Tillich’s language reflects his “God above theism” approach: God is not one being among others, but the depth-dimension or ground that makes being, meaning, and value possible at all. Calling this inexhaustible depth “God” shifts religious talk away from a supernatural object and toward an ultimate concern that underlies existence itself. The quote also signals Tillich’s attempt to translate classical theological claims into existential and ontological terms, making “God” a name for what is ultimately real and sustaining rather than a competing entity within the world. It invites readers to see faith as orientation to the ground of being, not assent to a particular cosmic hypothesis.
