Global Perspectives
As a field of academic research with a religiously complex Judeo-Christian heritage and that has developed on a global scale, the field of Protestant theology transcends disciplinary and national borders. Just as the Reformation in the 16th century formed as a dynamic interplay of numerous diverse expressions, so also Protestant theology 500 years later is best understood as internationally oriented and engaged in many different intercultural and interdisciplinary discourses.
The Faculty of Protestant Theology at the University of Bonn is likewise committed to such an understanding of Protestant theology and sets out the following strategic considerations with the intention of maintaining and deepening its international orientation in keeping with that tradition.
