In his research and teaching, Johannes Hoff plans to introduce students and colleagues to the paradigm shift in Anglo-American Ressourcement theology of the past 30 years. Along with this project, he aims to prepare them for the historically unprecedented break of the digital revolution, which has been underestimated not only by the churches and the humanities, but also by the political and civil religious leaders of our time.
