L. Steinebach

Liv Steinebach is pursuing a doctoral degree at the Protestant Theological University in the field of Systematic Theology. She studied Scandinavian Studies, German Studies and Protestant Theology in Northern Germany (CAU Kiel) and Denmark (SU Odense; Aarhus University). In her research, she is investigating the potential of the biblical love-commandments in relation to tolerance in a pluralistic society. In particular, she uses a socio-psychological tolerance-conception as heuristic instrument to identify how the biblical love-commandments relate to tolerance. Thereby, the focus lies on biblical scriptures and the love commandments’ reception in protestant theology (especially in the works of Martin Luther, Søren Kierkegaard and Dorothee Sölle).

The PhD project is part of the multidisciplinary research project FOR 5472: The Difficulty and Possibility of Tolerance: The Multifaceted Challenges of the Concept and Practice of Tolerance, which is funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (Project number 493131063).

Her supervisors are Associate Prof. Dr. K. Zeller and Prof. Dr. A. Huijgen.
