Kirchen- und staatskirchenrechtliche Probleme der Evangelisch-theologischen Fakultäten

At the beginning of this book, Joachim E. Christoph deals with the theological and historical foundations of faculties of Protestant theology. In the second part of the book, he describes the current situation in relation to ecclesiastical law, the law on established churches and the agreements between the state and the churches. Following this, the author examines older problems which are still unsolved: the right of the regional churches to give an expert opinion on the appointment of theology professors and the clauses on religious denomination in the examination regulations for theology. He also deals with the impact of the Bologna Process on the faculties of Protestant theology, in particular the possible introduction of phased bachelor's and master's degrees, the adoption, alteration and abolition of theology degrees, the designation of final examinations at faculties of theology as well as the accreditation of theology degree programs.
