               <salute>Dear <rs ref="#tillich_person_id__1928" type="person">Dr.
                  Tillich</rs>,</salute>
            </opener>
            <p>I have just read with great interest your articles which appeared in the
                  <q>Protestant</q>, and in the main I find myself in general agreement with the
               views you have so clearly expressed. I am not quite sure, however, whether you are in
               favour of a union of the English-speaking peoples as well as the federation of
               Europe, or whether you want <rs ref="#tillich_place_id__1236" type="place">Great Britain</rs> to be one of
               the members of the European federation.</p>
            <p>I can't help feeling that in order to bring the <rs ref="#tillich_place_id__684" type="place">United
               States</rs> permanently into a close association with <rs ref="#tillich_place_id__736" type="place">Europe</rs>, the best approach would be through a World federation, of which the
               English-speaking peoples, the <rs ref="#tillich_place_id__1352" type="place">Soviet Union</rs>, a
               Far-Eastern federation, and a United States of Europe would be constituent
               members.</p>
            <p>I am taking the liberty of sending you <add place="superlinear"><hi rend="hand">(under separate cover)</hi></add> a book which has recently been published in
               which I have endeavoured to <pb n="2"/> outline this proposal. I imagine that our
               views are more or less in common, and I shall be extremely grateful if you would send
               me your comments and criticisms after you have read the book.</p>
            <p>I must apologise for inflicting myself upon you without any formal introduction.</p><closer>

                     <p>Paul Tillich (20. August 1886 – 22. Oktober 1965) war ein deutscher evangelischer Theologe und Religionsphilosoph. Nach seiner Tätigkeit als Feldprediger im Ersten Weltkrieg lehrte er an verschiedenen Universitäten in Deutschland, bis er 1933 emigrieren musste und in den USA wirkte, unter anderem in New York, Harvard und Chicago. Tillich entwickelte eine Theologie der Kultur und verstand Religion als das „was uns unbedingt angeht“. In seiner „Systematic Theology“ formulierte er die Methode der Korrelation und deutete Gott als „Macht des Seins“. Seine Arbeiten verbinden Theologie, Philosophie und Existenzdenken und hatten großen Einfluss auf das religiöse Denken der Moderne.</p>
