The inner connection of Pangritz 'research areas “Aspects of the theology of Dietrich Bonhoeffer”, “Problems of the Christian-Jewish relationship”, “On the theology of Friedrich-Wilhelm Marquardt” and “Dialectical theology and critical theory” is the tradition of the Confessing Church and theology according to Auschwitz . In this, theology does not serve as a science of legitimation for the prevailing conditions, but drives ideology criticism . Lectures in front of church congregations, regional and international conferences as well as numerous articles illuminate systematically and historically the relationship between Christianity and Judaism, between state and church.

In recent years he has devoted himself intensively to research on Martin Luther's anti-Judaism and anti-Semitism .

Pangritz often goes into a relationship between dialectical theology and critical theory . Apart from his teacher Marquardt, from whom he also publishes some of the writings from the estate, he is oriented towards Karl Barth, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Walter Benjamin and Theodor W. Adorno as scholars of the 20th century.

His musical knowledge enabled him to relate the theological thinking of Barth and Bonhoeffer to music.

Some of Pangritz's publications have also appeared in English, Italian, Dutch, Korean, and Chinese.
