research
A research focus of Lentzen-Deis is the theology of Nikolaus von Kues , who, like him, comes from the Moselle town of Cues, today Bernkastel-Kues. Lentzen-Deis' main concern is to show that Nikolaus was a theologian who put his scientific and philosophical work at the service of preaching.
