Ulrich Mann (theologian)
Ulrich Mann (born August 11, 1915 in Stuttgart ; † March 13, 1989 in Tutzing ) was a Protestant systematic theologian .
Mann taught in Tübingen and from 1962 in Saarbrücken . Originally thinking in the tradition of dialectical theology ( Vom Wesen des Protestantismus , 1964), he later embarked on paths that dealt more positively with the phenomenon of religion, for example in his work Christianity as Absolute Religion (1970).
Mann is one of the initiators and lateral thinkers in Protestantism of the 20th century. He consequently tried to follow a path of "synoptic" thinking that combined depth psychology, religious philosophy and theology with empirical religious studies . The Religion in the Religions (1975) represents a religious theological draft. From 1970 to 1987 Ulrich Mann was president of the Bund für Free Christianity .
In his later years he dealt with the work of Gustav Mensching and in particular received the idea of "material tolerance " (in Mensching: "content tolerance").
