ME Protestant Theology and Religious Studies for Grammar Schools

Protestant theology involves academic reflection of the Christian faith. Based on its biblical foundations, the issue of faith is broached as a historical phenomenon as well as an element of individual, ecclesiastical and social reality. God, man and the world -- and the interactions between them -- are addressed from the perspective of Reformed theology. Various conceptions of transcendence, religion and faith help students to comprehend the study content. In this way, students gain the skills required to discuss fundamental questions of life with children, adolescents and adults in their later professional life. The religious landscape in Europe and the globalised world has changed dramatically. Our lifeworld is characterised by growing secularisation as well as a return to religiosity in many areas. The aim of the degree programme is to enable students to determine and assess these processes from the Protestant perspective and, on the basis of their own reasoned stance, to guide others in the search for their positions.
