The lecture will deal with concepts and methods of systematic theology and its history. Considering this there is one main issue for contemporary theology. It has to avoid each and every anti-Judaic implications; Christianity has no basis without its deep connection to Judaism in past and present days. Anti-Judaic attitudes are a Cristian self-contradiction.
