Church, ethics and education are controversial topics in theology and society. The ceremony on the occasion of the 60th birthday of Thomas Söding focuses on Pauline approaches. Students and companions get into conversation with their teacher in these three subject areas. The spectrum ranges from the development of religious discourses in ancient Greece to aspects of Jesuan didactics in postmodernism, from the Gospel of Mark to the Revelation of St. John, from the biblical culture of remembrance to questions of fair taxation and the challenges of mammon.
