Spiritual and Heavenly Home in Performing Action of Christian Denominational Cultures (C03)

• Subject Area: Protestant Theology
• Term: since 2024
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 517096657

The work program’s first work package concerns the compilation of the corpus from influential compendia of the denominations, in which the performing action in the proclamation is treated, combined with a screening for modeling features of home (6 months). In the second, more extensive work package, the corpus will be analyzed comparatively under the question of how in the denominations the proclamation in word and sacrament leads to a sense of being at home in the church (24 months). In the third work package, the results will be presented and discussed at a workshop with experts. The manuscripts of the doctoral thesis and the monograph „Geistliche Beheimatung in denominational cultures“ will be completed (12 months).
