Markus Wriedt (Dr. Theol. 1990, University of Hamburg; Habilitation 2004, Goethe University Frankfurt) is Professor of Church History in the Evangelical Faculty of Theology at Goethe University Frankfurt. He publishes on historical theology in later medieval and early modern times, the histories of Enlightenment and 19^th-century theology, and the Renaissance reception of the Church fathers. As a Frankfurt Fellow of the POLY Research Group, his work will focus on the deconstruction of the confessionalization model; dynamic relationships among evolving Christian lifestyles and their doctrinal referents; and the dynamics generated by the tension between religious differentiation and homogeneity in the gradual transformation of Christian ontologies. Within the field of symbolic communication, he is particularly interested in the performance and politics of identity within confessional cultures.
