                        Curtz</rs>:</salute></opener>
                <p>As I understand you have been kind enough to take interest in the career of my
                    friend and former assistant, <rs ref="#tillich_person_id__2023" type="person">Dr. Hans Weil</rs>.</p>
                <p>I have known <rs ref="#tillich_person_id__2023" type="person">Hans Weil</rs>
                    since 1929 when I was Professor of Philosophy at the University of <rs ref="#tillich_place_id__143" type="place">Frankfurt a/M</rs>. <rs ref="#tillich_person_id__2023" type="person">Dr. Weil</rs> was not only a
                    well-known writer but he was also regarded as one of the best young teachers at
                    the University in that time. He combines a great amount of creative thinking
                    with practical educational abilities. He was a good speaker, having overcome the
                    results of a childhood's accident with energy and passion for his work. </p>
                <p>I would be grateful if you would help him to find a place in the field of
                    education which, I believe, is his mission. I am sure he would do an excellent
                    job as he has done it not only in <rs ref="#tillich_place_id__143" type="place">Frankfurt a/M</rs> but also in <rs ref="#tillich_place_id__219" type="place">Italy</rs> where he founded and headed his own school.</p>
                <p>I shall be happy to give you any further information you may desire.</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>
