Prof. Dr. Martin Bauspieß

Prof. Dr. Martin Bauspieß was appointed to the professorship of Biblical Studies with a special focus on the New Testament on November 1, 2024. He studied Protestant theology at the Universities of Tübingen and Leipzig (1999-2005) and was awarded his doctorate in the summer semester of 2011 with a thesis on Luke's double work. After a period in parish ministry, he completed his doctorate in the winter semester 2021/22 with a study on Paul's conception of God ("Der gegenwärtige Gott. Die paulinische Rede von Gott im Horizont der Tradition") and has since worked as a private lecturer at the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen. His research focuses on the Gospels and the letters of Paul, but also on research into the emergence of "Christian values" and the reception of the sacred texts of Israel in the writings of the New Testament. Another focus is the history of research into the New Testament, in particular Rudolf Bultmann (1884-1976) and Ferdinand Christian Baur (1792-1860).
