Prof. Dr. theol. habil. Annemarie C. Mayer

Annemarie C. Mayer is professor of Dogmatic Theology and the History of Dogma at the Faculty of Theology in Trier. She received her STD in Catholic Theology and her “Habilitation” from Tübingen University and has since taught in Switzerland (Université Miséricorde Fribourg) and Belgium (KU Leuven). Her research focusses on the analysis of the changing ecclesial landscapes in Europe and elsewhere, the implementation of synodality in different churches, above all the Catholic Church in the current worldwide process, and on the role of the doctrine of God, especially in the light of other monotheistic religions throughout the centuries, in particular polemics, controversial theology and inter-religious dialogue in the Middle Ages. She is a member of the international commentary project “Vatican II – Event and Mandate”.
