Are you seriously saying that a seminary professor (and ordained cleric) sleeping with female students, was just consensual sex?
And there was one clear portrait of sexual assault in the anecdote from the Niebuhr biography. Funny that you overlook that.
Tillich was part of a theological system that condemned sex outside marriage—and that sentiment is echoed in his writing. I don't agree his evasive effort to avoid "adultery" as a specific subject relieves him of hypocrisy.
