Magdalena Kopf

Magdalena Kopf is a Researcher at the Chair of Dogmatics, History of Dogma, and Ecumenical Theology within the Faculty of Catholic Theology at the University of Tübingen. Her work focuses on contemporary ecclesiological approaches in Germany, particularly analyzing identity and belonging discourses in Christian-Muslim comparisons through empirical research frameworks. She engages with Andreas Reckwitz's concepts of 'doing ecclesiology' to explore socio-cultural dynamics between individuals and religious communities.

Her academic background includes a Diplomstudium (2008–2014) in Catholic Theology from the University of Tübingen and Université Lumière Lyon 2. Since 2017, she has served as a Wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin (research assistant) while also holding the role of Beauftragte Pastoralreferentin (assigned pastoral officer) for the Diocese of Rottenburg-Stuttgart, indicating a dual commitment to academic research and pastoral practice.

Her teaching portfolio spans advanced seminars on Christology in religious education, eschatology addressing future anxieties, and theological-practical perspectives on interreligious cooperation. She contributes to courses on sacramental theology, dogmatics, and prepares students for university exams in these areas.
