Christoph Böttigheimer

Prof. Dr. Christoph Böttigheimer serves as a Chair holder at the Faculty of Theology of the Katholische Universität Eichstätt-Ingolstadt, where he has made significant contributions to Fundamental Theology and Ecumenical Theology. His work bridges Philosophical Theology, Ecclesiology, and Interreligious Dialogue, focusing on themes like divine action in the world, the rationality of faith, and the legacy of the Second Vatican Council.

• Research Focus:
• Ecumenical theology (justification doctrine, papal ministry)
• Epistemology and revelation theory
• God's action in the world and petitionary prayer
• Interreligious discourse (sin, body, soul, economy concepts across faiths)

His recent articles explore intersections between theology and modern scientific understanding, particularly in cosmology and evolutionary biology, alongside ecumenical challenges in biblical interpretation and the theological implications of religious fundamentalism. Böttigheimer actively engages in international theological congresses and has contributed to debates on sustainability, religious freedom, and the future of Christian unity. His editorial work includes co-editing transdisciplinary volumes on concepts like sin, body, and environment across monotheistic traditions.
