Der Neutestamentler Ernst Lohmeyer

For the first time, Andreas Köhn provides a comprehensive study of the tragic life of Ernst Lohmeyer, who became a victim of both totalitarian systems in Germany when he was transferred from Breslau to Greifswald during National Socialism and then murdered for political reasons by the Soviet secret police on September 19, 1946. This book makes a valuable contribution to understanding Lohmeyer's philosophical background as well as the individual aspects of his life's work in the field of exegesis. It also encourages the reader to study the work of this great »forgotten« 20th century theologian again and to use his many-faceted way of thinking as food for thought in current debates.
