Life

After graduating from high school in 1975 in Bietigheim, Jung initially worked in the voluntary social peace service for the Action atonement in Israel, among others with the later Roman Catholic priest Manfred Deselaers . From 1977 to 1984 he studied Protestant theology in Tübingen and Berlin and then passed the first ecclesiastical examination in the Württemberg regional church. Jung spent his vicariate, combined with religious instruction at secondary schools, in Lauffen am Neckar and was ordained in 1987 after passing the second church examination. From 1987 to 1990 he was an assistant to Ulrich Köpf in Tübingen and received his doctorate in 1990 with a thesis on The Württemberg Church and the Jews in the Period of Pietism . After two years of pastoral service and religious instruction in Nehren , Jung returned to the University of Tübingen and received his habilitation there in 1996 ( Habilitation thesis : Piety and Theology with Philipp Melanchthon. Prayer in the life and teaching of the reformer ). During the doctorate as well as during the habilitation period, he carried out teaching activities in Tübingen. In 1996, Jung held a professorship in Siegen , before taking on an assistant professorship in Basel in 1997 . In 2002 he was appointed to Osnabrück and since then has held the chair for Historical Theology: Church history , dogma, theology and denominational history as well as ecumenical theology there at the Institute for Protestant Theology . In addition to research and teaching, Jung also participates to a large extent in academic self-administration.
