Life

After studying German , history and Catholic theology in Würzburg, Bonn and Rome, she worked as a research assistant at the Institute for German Legal History and Canon Law at the University of Würzburg with Winfried Trusen . In 1986 she completed her doctorate on the ecclesiology of the Albigensians in dogmatics and the history of dogma , followed by her habilitation in these subjects in 1996 , with the extended venia legendi for church legal history . From 1986 she was a member of the scientific advisory board of the Center d'Études Cathares in Carcassonne . As a private lecturer , she worked on the DFG project The Development of Public Criminal Law and the DFG graduate project The Perception of Gender Difference in Religious Symbol Systems .

From 1998 she was visiting professor for ecclesiastical legal history at the University of Münster . In 2001 she became Professor of Church History at the Katholieke Theologische Universiteit in Utrecht , which was merged with the University of Tilburg on January 1, 2007 , where she taught as Professor of Church and Theological History. Since 2009 she has been Professor of Church History, Canon Law and the History of Christianity at the Faculty of Philosophy, Theology and Religious Studies at Radboud University Nijmegen . In 2012 she co-founded CIRCAED (Collectif International de Recherche sur le Catharisme et les Dissidences) in Toulouse and in 2014 the Center of Catholic Studies: Historical and Systematic Perspectives at the Faculty of Philosophy, Theology and Religious Studies at Radboud University Nijmegen.

Her work and research focus is on heresy research and the networking of (ecclesiastical) law and theology. The starting point of her research is the networking of historical, theological and legal aspects. Her focus is on the interaction of the competing models of interpretation in Christianity, so that orthodoxy and heterodoxy do not appear as a strict "counterpart", but as a continuous process in the development of Christianity. The debates about the different interpretations of the doctrine thus present themselves as a motor in the development of the intellectual culture of Europe, long before the Enlightenment .
