(S) --NOTE entries, when enclosed in quotation marks, are re- produced from the respective institutional catalogs. *Recorded by Peter H. John,^b Box 207, Cambridge, Mass. 02138. The corpus of recorded material represents about 85% of the lectures and courses taught during the years, 1951-1962. **Abbreviations: (S) = Stenographic recording, verbatim. Union = (UTS) (T) = Tape recording. Columbia = (CU) (ST) = Mixed, or both S and T. Harvard = (HU) ***Lectures on ''Existence and the Christ,'' ''Life and the Spirit,'' and ''The Interpretation of History'' were ultimately incorporated into   Volumes II (1957) and III (1963) of Systematic Theology (Univ. of Chicago Press). There is a remarkable diversity between the styles of the oral  delivery and the published versions. The latter are much more condensed and stripped of most of the concrete illustrative material. Also, through the years' commentaries on the basic ''Propositions'' (which formed the student's pre-published text, distributed at the beginning of each course), one can trace the continuing development and expansion of Prof. Tillich^c's thought. The content of repeated courses always changed in emphasis and treatment. Included in the recordings are the discussion periods which were an integral part of almost all of the lectures. The manuscripts which formed the basis of many of these lectures exist primarily in outline or propositional (thesis) form. Only two of the following 39 courses have been transcribed from the recordings, and privately printed in small student editions, now out of print (see Entries III and IX). In addition to the multi-lecture courses, there is included a list of 63 individual lectures and discussions.
