                <p>I hope you agree with the enclosed letter.<note type="ea">Vermutlich ist eine

                            Elined Prys-Kotschnig vom 22. April 1946</rs> gemeint.</note> I had a
                    hard time to write it. Please, consider carefully whether it is all right. I
                    have been wondering whether you might mention that you have my <q>Education and
                        Experience Record</q> (I enclose a copy of it, too) from which you got all
                    the pertinent information. However, if you feel that you should mention this,
                    the letter would have to be rewritten, I am afraid. Well, you know best how to
                    handle this wisely. Please, keep in mind that, since I shall work in <rs ref="#tillich_place_id__747" type="place">Philadelphia</rs> in a group where
                        <rs ref="#tillich_person_id__3469" type="person">Mrs. K.</rs> is well known
                    and where she certainly has quite an influence, this letter <hi rend="u">is</hi>
                    important, it will set the <q>stage</q> for me.</p>
                <p>I called your office this morning for I thought I would come personally and bring
                    the letter for you to sign it. Unfortunately you are not in your office today,
                    so I send it all by mail. In case you should decide to change the letter in some
                    way or other, would you kindly call me tomorrow morning in my office, early
                    enough, so that I may be able to come to you between 12 and 1 p.m. Thank you
                    ever so much for this great help.</p>
                <p>I have read your sermon<!-- nicht ermittelt --> – breathlessly. Would it be
                    possible to get a few more copies? I would be very grateful.</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>
