            This doctoral programme covers a wide range of themes, either the history of Christian chu

            thought and cultures (from the patristic period to contemporary history), or a systematic 
            theological concepts and their place in the totality of Christian faith. We thus offer two
            foci of study, with a great variety of specific subtopics. In doing so, however, we aim to

            students both broaden their historical horizon and deepen their understanding of theologic
            contexts and their ability to engage with them meaningfully. This gives special importance
            to topics that balance both in the most natural way, that is, especially those that relate

            the field of the history of thought and theology. However, we do not a priori limit the to
            to them; we try to respect the students' own interests and their prior training, so that t

            theological demands are more moderate for students with a strong historical orientation an
            Even in these cases, however, the principle is maintained that anyone who wants to investi
            of Christianity needs to be familiar with theological thought and terminology to the neces

            conversely, even systematic-theological reflection must not be limited to speculation and 
            by knowledge of the historically concrete forms of Christian traditions and respect for th
            methodological armament developed by historical scholarship.


            In addition to Masters of Theology, graduates of related humanities disciplines may also a
            with us. All of them, however, are expected to have a background in critical work with and

            of mainly written sources in the original languages, corresponding to a completed master's
            fields, as well as a demonstrable interest in deepening this in the expertise context of o


            The first step that those interested in doctoral studies must undergo is a consultation wi
            of the programme, during which, in addition to the field of affiliation or non-affiliation
            project, it should be clarified whether we can find a suitable supervisor in our ranks.
