Congratulations: Sebastian Grünbaum has earned his doctorate in theology

With his oral examination on 9 March, Chemnitz scholarship recipient Rev. Sebastian Grünbaum earned his doctorate in theology at Concordia Seminary in St. Louis (USA). The topic of his thesis, supervised by Dr Gerhard Bode, was ‘Studies in the reception of the Council of Trent in 16th-century Lutheranism as seen in the Eucharistic theology of Martin Chemnitz's Examen Concilii Tridentini’.

This was the first time in the 150-year history of the priest college at Campo Santo Teutonico that a Lutheran clergyman had been awarded a doctorate. Father Augustinus Sander OSB accompanied the studies on behalf of the RIGG. Dr Grünbaum will now take up a pastoral position in his native Finland.
