All of this not only developed shared insights and discoveries of
fruitful research paths but also inaugurated numerous international
contacts. Heidelberg and Zurich were thus encouraged to establish a
global network “for Theology, Religious, and Christian Studies.”
Today, forty-eight universities from numerous countries, including
Russia and China, belong to this network. Internationally advertised
scholarships were acquired without selfishly centering them only on
Heidelberg. If the applications were of the right quality, for example, a
doctoral student could go from Beijing to Stellenbosch for a semester
or a doctoral student from Moscow to Princeton.
