Theorien des konfessionellen Gegensatzes. Konstruktionen und Essentialisierungen in der neueren Theologiegeschichte. Herausgegeben von Benjamin Dahlke, Klaus Unterburger und Christian Volkmar Witt

Today, ecumenism is almost taken for granted. Promoting unity among Christian churches is considered important, especially in an increasingly secular world. This anthology deals with a topic that is occasionally discussed in connection with ecumenism, namely the assumption of a denominational divide. This refers to the idea that there is something specifically Catholic and something specifically Protestant that makes it difficult or even impossible to communicate with one another. The volume discusses the various theories of denominational opposition, the circumstances under which they arose, and how they can be classified. The authors conduct research in the fields of ecumenism, church history, and systematic theology.
