Launch of the online issue of Theologische Revue

2020-01-10

In the future, we will present here interesting and curious finds from the archives of the Theologische Revue, relating to various subject areas. Celebrating the launch of our online edition, we first take a look back on our own beginnings:

 „In the year 1901 the emerging faculty of theology of the (then) Royal Academy of Münster issued a circular letter ...“ – to quote Arnold Struker in his article on the occasion of the Revue’s 25th anniversary in 1927.

Max Meinertz described on the occasion of the 50th anniversary in 1954 among other things how Pope Pius XI came to the rescue of the Theologische Revue and ensured its continuous publication. Finally Arnold Angenendt, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary in 2002, gave a retrospect of the Revue’s extensive history: beginning with the so called "Kulturkampf" of the 19th century to authors like Walter Kasper or Joseph Ratzinger.

And now it is time for the next step: The publication of the first online issue of Theologische Revue!
