SE 2

weekly

German

The students get to know he history of the new charismatic-evangelical movements as well as contemporary controversies. They work out systematic-theological criteria to assess chances for a renewal of the church as well as specific dangers of these movements. They will work with specialist , literature, contributions in new media, and with self-presentations of charismatic and evangelical movement in the Word Wide Web.

Do we live in an age of the Holy Spirit? In any case, one thing is certain: the fastest growing proportions in Christianity worldwide are evangelical and / or Pentecostal-charismatic movements. Now they have also arrived in German-speaking countries, not only in free churches. Some observers speak of an „Evangelical Catholicism“. The aim of this seminar is to come into contact with this development and to gain a theologically justified assessment.

Participant observation of selected charismatic-evangelical events and presentation. Reading of sources and discussion.

Oral (presentation of the observations, participation in the discussion) and written paper.
