If God is not the ground of being, then God cannot provide an answer to the question of finitude; God would also be finite in some sense. The term "God Above God," then, means to indicate the God who appears, who is the ground of being, when the "God" of theological theism has disappeared in the anxiety of doubt. [56]

Niebuhr borrowed often from Paul Tillich's notion of God. He was comfortable describing God as Being-itself, the One, or the Ground of Being. In this regard, Niebuhr held something of a middle ground between the dogmatic but dialectical theology of Karl Barth and the philosophically oriented modified liberalism of Paul Tillich.
Paul Prather: A family crisis has reminded me that questioning, doubt and bewilderment are norms of faith, not indications that you lack it. Faith isn’t easy. It’s often more about uncertainty ...
Paul Tillich held that God is the ground of being and is something that precedes the subject and object (philosophy) dichotomy. He considered God to be what people are ultimately concerned with, existentially, and that religious symbols can be recovered as meaningful even without faith in the personal God of traditional Christianity.

Rather, Christians should take their cue from the existentialist theology of Paul Tillich and consider God to be 'the ground of our being'. Dietrich Bonhoeffer's notion of religion-less Christianity is also a major theme in the book. Robinson's interpretation of this phrase is—inevitably—controversial.
It seems that this section is slightly anachronistic. It is reading Tillich's definition of God as the "Ground of Being" through Marion's "God without Being." Tillich still reads "God" as an ontological designation (not just a semiotic one) [Sys. Theo. 1, 227].
Paul Tillich (1886–1965) popularized the concept of a theology of culture, publishing a book with that title in 1959, that showed the religious dimension of several spheres of culture. He discussed ways of differentiating the sacred and the secular. In Tillich's work existentialism was also an important motif. [1]
