  THE EXPULSION OF PROFESSOR GERD LÜDEMANN FROM THE THEOLOGY FACULTY AT GÖTTINGEN UNIVERSITY

General Information :

• Born 1946
• German, Resident Alien USA
• Professor emeritus of History and Literature of Early Christian at Georg-August-University Göttingen, Germany
• Founder of the Archive "Religionsgeschichtliche Schule", Theological Faculty
• Visiting Scholar, Vanderbilt Divinity School

The Confederation of Protestant Churches in Lower Saxony has objected to my teaching because in my publications and in my scholarly work I have engaged in critical discussions of the Protestant confession and the results of my research are not acceptable to the Protestant Churches in Lower Saxony and the Administration of the University of Göttingen. Therefore although I am an accredited New Testament scholar the President of the University of Göttingen has forbidden my chair to be designated a Chair of New Testament Studies.
