Chair of Historical Theology – Medieval and Modern Church History

In the field of Historical Theology, we explore the developments, processes, and dynamics of the multifaceted reality of theology and the Church: as an institution, as a locus and framework for theological reflection, and as a dynamic interplay—sometimes complementary, sometimes parallel, and not infrequently in tension—of the forms of life and models through which the Church has been understood and lived throughout its history to the present day. Understanding the Church in its historically evolved and plural realities, situating it in its historical context, and examining the processes that have shaped it is an essential competence of the historical disciplines.

Our courses teach students the skills they need to engage with the rich source material of church and theological history from the Middle Ages to the present day. This involves reading and understanding historical sources, contextualizing and conveying important developments, identifying the broader historical narrative and the connections from the early days of the church(es) to the multiconfessional present, and delving deeply into the fascinating details of church history.
