In 2001 he was with a thesis on the transcendental reassurance of Christology in dialogue with Richard Schaeffler and Karl Rahner Dr. theol. PhD . In 2004 the doctorate to Dr. phil. with a transcendental reconstruction of the possibility of God thinking in late modern times. He completed his habilitation (2006) with a thesis on theology of the Trinity , which reconstructs Christian thinking about God based on freedom theory and exposes the interreligious references. The habilitation thesis was published in two volumes - "Gott und Freiheit" (2008) and "Gott - Welt - Mensch" (2008).

In 2007 Nitsche had an accident. He survived this accident, resulting in high paraplegia . Regardless of his physical limitations, he was able to publish his habilitation theses and become actively involved again in the theological-systematic discourse.

Since 2015 he has been Professor of Fundamental Theology and Philosophy of Religion in the Department of Catholic Theology at the University of Münster. In the same year he turned down an offer to Kassel.

Focus of work

Bernhard Nitsche's main areas of work include philosophical and theological anthropology, the philosophical and trinity-theological doctrine of God, thinking about God from an interreligious perspective and the question of holistic Catholic thinking. From an interreligious perspective, he asks about family similarities and functional correspondences between the different religious mediation ideas of transcendence and immanence from culturally and theologically different systems. In his theological work, Nitsche strives for an adequate mediation between Catholic tradition and the freedom thinking of modernity as well as the plural religious traditions. Furthermore, his thinking is inspired by the so-called "Communicative Theology", which asks about the implicit concerns and axioms behind the religious statements. These considerations are currently u. a. through a DFG project - under the short title "God or Divine?" - on the transformation of religious attitudes and the search for a new classification system for religiously flat-profile and popularized spiritualities.
