SysLex - The first German-language online encyclopedia for systematic theology is here!

SysLex, the first free online encyclopedia for systematic theology, will be launched on May 1. The innovative service is aimed at anyone interested in theological issues - from students to teachers and colleagues, pastors to volunteers and church councils.
With a constantly growing number of articles, SysLex provides short, up-to-date and problem-oriented introductions to central concepts and topics of systematic theology.

To start with, 50 articles from the fields of ethics, dogmatics and philosophy of religion are available. Initial topics include: What does it mean theologically to be atheistic? or What is the significance of the Bible today? The range will be continuously expanded to include current topics and keywords

The articles are interlinked, are based on specific problems and offer free, low-threshold access to theological ideas and traditions. Quality and scholarly foundation are paramount: all content is created by selected experts, undergoes a peer review process and is supported by an academic advisory board.

SysLex is supported by a group of editors that currently includes 13 academics. It is financially supported by the Evangelical Church in Germany (EKD) and hosted by the Fachinformationsdienst Theologie. Technically, the encyclopedia is based on open-source software developed at the Center for Digital Systems (CeDiS) at the FU Berlin.
