academic career

In 1983 he received his doctorate at the Catholic theological faculty of the University of Tübingen and in 1989 he completed his habilitation there. Reiser was a research assistant to Gerhard Lohfink , who left university at his own request in 1987 in order to live and work in the Catholic Integrated Congregation. In 1991 Reiser was offered a professorship for New Testament at the Department of Catholic Theology at the University of Mainz .

His research relates in particular to the Hellenistic environment and eschatology of the New Testament, to questions of philology and biblical hermeneutics .

On October 31, 2008, Marius Reiser announced that he would resign from his professorship at the end of the 2008/09 winter semester because he did not want to support the modularization and leveling of the Catholic theology course as part of the Bologna Process . On April 1, 2009, he actually gave up his professorship and was dismissed from the civil service. Besides Karl-Otto Edel , Reiser is the only university professor who takes a public position against the Bologna Process in the sense that he advocates a return to the old system (this does not mean, however, that other university professors do not criticize the Bologna Process).
