                        Tillich</rs>,</salute></opener>
                <p>I imagine you must have been wondering about my silence after <rs ref="#tillich_person_id__3471" type="person">Franziska</rs> had told you
                    that we wanted very much to have you come to Yale for a
                    discussi<!-- evtl. abgeschnitten --> group. The delay has been in choosing the
                    boys to participate – which had to be done carefully, as we wanted to keep the
                    group small enough for convenient and effective discussion – and in<pb n="2"/>
                    setting a proliminary meeting. The upshot is that a group of nine boys will meet
                    next Tuesday, <date when="1946-04-16">April 16</date>, to discuss your chapter
                    in <hi rend="u"><rs ref="#tillich__ZATSNTWD" type="work">The Christian

                    more from a meeting with you if we have this opportunity to discuss the article
                    among ourselves and make sure we understand its implications. <rs ref="#tillich_person_id__2957" type="person">Mr. Richard Niebuhr</rs> has<pb n="3"/> very kindly offered to assist us in this.</p>
                <p>Would it be possible for you to come to <rs ref="#tillich_place_id__770" type="place">New Haven</rs> some evening during <date from="1946-04-21" to="1946-04-27">the week of April 21</date>? Unfortunately only Tuesday,
                    Wednesday, or Friday would be possible for the students in the group, most of
                    whom are very busy.</p>
                <p>If it would not be possible for you that week<pb n="4"/> perhaps you could come
                        <date from="1946-05-06" to="1946-05-12">the week of May 6<hi rend="sup">th</hi></date> (any night except Thursday) when we will be back from
                    spring recess.</p>
                <p>We would of course be glad to pay your expenses, and get you a room for the
                    night, should you care to stay in <rs ref="#tillich_place_id__770" type="place">New Haven</rs>.</p>
                <p>I think it would be deeply appreciated by these students if you could manage to
                        come<pb n="5"/> for an evening. They are all impressed with the fact that
                        <rs ref="#tillich__MPIUNK3W" type="work">your article</rs> has the
                    intellectual content which they feel Christianity in general lacks.</p>

                     <p>Niebuhr, Helmut Richard (3.9.1894 Wright City, Missouri – 5.7.1962 New Haven, Connecticut) war ein US-amerikanischer evangelischer Theologe und Ethiker. Er stammte aus einer Pfarrersfamilie deutscher Einwanderer und war der Bruder von Reinhold Niebuhr. Nach Studien in Elmhurst, St. Louis, Washington und Yale, wo er 1924 promovierte, lehrte er zunächst in Elmhurst und St. Louis. Ab 1931 wirkte er an der Yale Divinity School, ab 1954 als Sterling Professor. Er war Mitbegründer der United Church of Christ und prägte Generationen von Theologen. Beeinflusst von Kierkegaard, Barth und Troeltsch verband er neo-orthodoxe und liberale Ansätze. In seinem Hauptwerk Christ and Culture (1951) plädierte er für ein kulturtransformierendes Christentum, während seine Schrift The Responsible Self (1962) seine theologische Ethik zusammenfasste.</p>

                     <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>
