About the Program

Protestant theology is the reflective and scientifically responsible discourse on God from a Protestant perspective. In dialogue with other sciences and adopting their methods, it explores the meaning of the Christian faith. Protestant theology is split into five main areas: Old Testament, New Testament, Church History, Systematic Theology, and Practical Theology. Students learn academic and profession-related aspects of Christianity as a possibility for human beings to find meaning in life, as a guide for how to lead their lives and find values, and as an influential factor in western culture and society. The main points of focus include the historical origins and development of Christianity, and the conditions, possibilities and effects of religious and church thought and action in today's society—in Germany and in a global context. Possible career paths include administrative specialist/coordination functions, academia, editing/clerical functions, archives, and journalism.
