In Systematic Theology vol.III (1963), Paul Tillich says that the problem of history is the problem of the existential meaning of history. He tries to answer the question by using many words such as essentialization. However, his description is so complicated that it is hard to grasp what Tillich accurately means. In his "The Decline and the Validity of the Idea of Progress," the word "maturation" or "maturing" is the key for his interpretation of history. According to Tillich, maturation is the actualization of the potential or the realization of the essential, and it is the answer to the question of the meaning of history. So we use Tillich's concept of maturation as a clue to understand the meaning of essentialization in his ST III. Tillich's answer to the question of the existential meaning of history is maturation, that is, the fragmental actualization of the essential under the conditions of the existential.
