                            Diaries</rs> (1948).</note> I think it would be very important that <rs type="work" ref="#tillich__D2I2Q9TH">Dr. Hafkesbrink's book</rs> be
                    published. I read it very carefully and was deeply impressed by the material
                    used and the interpretation given. The book illuminates a period of the history
                    of German culture and thought which is decisive for the understanding of the
                    present situation and which inspite of this is very little known even to the
                    scholars of history.</p>
                <p>The selection of the letters and the other material is excellent and very
                    representative; the style is warm and vivid but the author never oversteps the
                    limit of scientific objectivity. Not only everybody who deals vocationally with
                    the history of German culture, but a larger public interested in the state of
                    mind of the German people in the period of the world wars would be potential
                    readers of the book.</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>
