| Abstract | New Harmony is famous for its two utopian communities. The one religious founded by George Rapp and the other socialist founded by Robert Owen of Scotland. The combination of both a religous and socialist background is what drew Paul Tillich to this small, rural Indiana town. He is generally considered to have been one of this century's most important theologians, best known for his argument that God could not be adequately defined as a person, but rather as the Ground of Being or Reality, the Spiritual Presence which animates the universe. This paper investigates the similarities among the philosophies of Rapp, Owen, and Tillich. Like Rapp, Tillich came from a German Lutheran family critical of Lutheran conservatism.
