                <p>We were delighted to receive your letter of <date when="1947-04-02">April 2,
                        1947</date>,<note type="ea">Liegt nicht vor.</note> and to learn that you
                    agree with us on the advisability to plan your SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGY as a
                    two-volume work approximately 250,000 words in total length.</p>
                <p>On this basis, we hope to present the project to our Publications Committee in
                    the near future with the suggestion to authorize a definite commitment on our
                    part.</p>
                <p>The organization of this work is of course entirely in your hands and I am
                    retracting my recent remark that the two volumes might be made independent of
                    each other. What I meant to say was that perhaps the work could be so organized
                    that Volume I might be published before Volume II. You will, of course, rely
                    entirely on your own judgment in this matter.</p>
                <p>I hope the above will allow you to plan your work for the balance of this year. I
                    hope to be able, within a month or so, to inform you of a favorable decision of
                    our Publication Committee.</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>
