1936 E. L. Talmey tr. P. J. Tillich Interpr. of Hist. ii. ii. 129 We call this fulfilled moment, the moment of time approaching us as fate and decision, Kairos. In doing this we take up a word that was, to be sure, created by the Greek linguistic sense, but attained the deeper meaning of fullness of time, of decisive time, only in the thinking of early Christianity and its historical consciousness.

1939 V. A. Demant Relig. Prospect viii. 220 A teaching that all man can know is how to respond to the Unconditioned at each moment of decision, which he calls the Kairos.

1948 J. L. Adams tr. P. Tillich Protestant Era (1951) i. iii. 47 Every kairos is..implicitly..an actualization of the unique kairos, the appearance of the Christ.

1948 J. L. Adams tr. P. Tillich Protestant Era (1951) i. iii. 48 We are convinced that today a kairos, an epochal moment of history, is visible.

1962 W. H. Auden Dyer's Hand (1963) iii. 140 The Greek notion of Kairos, the propitious moment for doing something, contained the seed of the notion of punctuality.
