Paul Janz is a Professor specializing in fundamental and contemporary philosophical theology, with significant contributions to theology and embodiment, action, time, and political theology. His research profile shows 49 citations and spans interdisciplinary work connecting theological discourse with philosophical inquiry and cultural studies.
His core research explores fundamental theology through lenses of embodiment, temporal existence, and ethical action, while engaging deeply with revelation, causality, and divinity. He critically examines theological concepts through philosophers like Bergson and Levinas, and theologians such as Bonhoeffer, focusing on phenomenological limits, divine silence, and the image of God. His fingerprint analysis confirms theology as his central domain (100%), with strong emphasis on revelation, causality, questioning, and divinity (66% each).
Analysis of his publications from 2009-2013 reveals consistent exploration of metaphysical tensions in theological ethics, particularly regarding political engagement, divine communication, and anthropological frameworks. His work bridges systematic theology with continental philosophy, frequently addressing how theological concepts operate within worldly contexts and ethical dilemmas.
Professor Janz has supervised 22 students and contributed as Co-Investigator to two major research projects: 'Translating cultures, transforming societies' (2014-2016), which examined cultural mediation across societies, and 'The hospitality of images: modern art and interfaith dialogue' (2012-2015), investigating intersections between visual art and religious understanding. These projects demonstrate his commitment to interdisciplinary collaboration bridging theology with cultural theory and artistic practice.
