Reformation historian Christoph Strohm is working with numerous academic colleagues and students on an internationally renowned project to edit and annotate 35,000 letters from 190 important theologians and politicians of the early modern period in
the southwest of the Holy Roman Empire oft he German Nation.
The project in conjunction with the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences and Humanities was funded by the DFG with 2.6 million euros
between 2018 and 2021. Ten further years of funding and a total of
at least €7.5 million are planned.
Like Prof. Strohm, other Heidelberg colleagues (the patristics
scholar Winrich Löhr and the Alsatian practical theologian Fritz
Lienhard) also cooperate with academics in the French-speaking
and French-cultural area.
The practical theologian and director of the Institute for Diaconal
Studies Johannes Eurich, who is also an honorary professor in Stellenbosch, trains numerous students and doctoral candidates in the
fields of diaconal practice and social responsibility. In collaboration
with colleagues from the Universities of Strasbourg, Basel, Freiburg,
and Tübingen and the Heidelberg School of Jewish Studies, he researches migration developments around the world and the resulting problems in international and interreligious understanding.
In the field of theological diaconal studies and social science research, he cooperates and publishes with the theologian and psychologist Prof. Annette Haußmann (academic director of the
Baden Center for Pastoral Care), the gerontologist and psychologist
Prof. Andreas Kruse, and the theologian and medical ethicist Prof.
Thorsten Moos.
