Geschichte

The Master's degree in Ecumenical Studies (MESt) aims to educate students in the three major Christian traditions (Orthodoxy, Catholicism and Protestantism) and to facilitate students' engagement with the challenges and possibilities of inter-traditional dialogue and cooperation. Students will be introduced to key aspects of biblical and theological interpretation, as well as poignant developments in church history, in order to equip them with the tools necessary to make advances in the interest of ecumenism. Lectures will include special attention to the insights and methodology of German theology, owing to the impact of German-language theological scholarship on Christian thought worldwide.
