With Martin Luther most people think of a German reformer. Through Luther’s numerous publications and his professorship at the University of Wittenberg, however, his influence extended far beyond Germany to the entire European region. Through his translation of the Bible, he was instrumental in the emergence of the New High German language, which he enriched with many word creations that we still use today. He cultivated the sciences, promoted education for boys and girls even in the poorer classes, decisively shaped our understanding of our profession, sharpened our social conscience and indirectly had a great influence on the renewal of the Catholic Church.

Hans Schwarz war bis 2004 Professor für Evangelische Theologie, Systematische Theologie und theologische Gegenwartsfragen an der Universität Regensburg. Er hielt Gastprofessuren u.a. an der Päpstlichen Universität Gregoriana in Rom, am Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary in Columbia, South Carolina, USA sowie an der Karls-Universität Prag. Seine Forschungsinteressen gelten dem Verhältnis von Theologie und Naturwissenschaften, der Theologiegeschichte des 19. Jahrhunderts und der Theologie der Reformatoren.
