RESEARCH PROJECT | DISSERTATION

My dissertation project asks about different ways of describing confessional identity from a Catholic perspective. Not only structural-institutional or academic-theological approaches come into view but also aspects that describe individual approaches to faith. Denominational discourses of self-understanding are examined to see on which levels they are made strong, which protagonists emerge and in which ways denominational profiles are shaped.
