Symposium Lutheran Theology 'out of the box'
13 September 2025 10:00 - 17:00
What does theology sound like when it brings together law and gospel, mysticism and social critique, art and liturgy? This symposium, centred on the work of Andreas Wöhle, brings together theologians, artists, and PThU lecturers. In a playful yet profound exploration of faith and life, space opens up for new theological perspectives.
