Live and act

Danz studied Protestant theology at the University of Jena from 1985 to 1990 . He then worked as a vicar at the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Thuringia . In 1994 Danz received his doctorate as Dr. theol . In 1999 he completed his habilitation in systematic theology at the University of Jena.

Research priorities

Danz is primarily concerned with dogmatic (especially the doctrine of God , Christology , pneumatology ), ethical and fundamental theological issues. Another focus is the history of theology in the 19th and 20th centuries. He is also co-editor of the works of FWJ Schelling .

Danz sees religion as "an execution-bound, situation-related interpretation of reality". "The enforcement obligation of religion explains first of all that there is a participant and an outside perspective on religion that are not congruent."
