2 ArticlesSecond Letter on Behalf of Prof. Dr. Gerd Ludemann Do the theological faculties of Germany's state universities serve only the church, or do they also serve the broader needs of a pluralistic culture? This is the central question in the debate surrounding biblical scholar and George-August University faculty member Gerd Luedemann who, after announcing his nonbelief publicly last year, was then denied his academic rights in his teaching position. This second letter, provided to us by an interested third party, responds to the Dean of George-August and defends Luedemann against the charge that he is unfit to prepare students for ordination in the Lutheran Church. Published: 10/2/2000 Open Letter on Behalf of Gerd Ludemann Pressured by the church in the wake of Professor Lüdemann's deconversion, the University and the Theological Faculty have effectively barred him from offering courses or advising students. Jesus Seminar Chair Robert W. Funk and other signatories wrote this open letter on Lüdemann's behalf. Published: 1/2/2000 |
