Jens-André Herbener
Jens-André Herbener is a prominent religious historian known for his critical analysis of the relationship between Christianity and the development of modern societies. In a recent debate, he, alongside fellow researcher Mikael Rothstein, argued against prevailing interpretations that suggest a direct alignment between Christian teachings and progressive social reforms. Herbener contends that historical discussions surrounding slavery in the biblical context have been misrepresented, asserting that the New Testament does not explicitly call for the abolition of slavery, a stance that has sparked significant discussion in academic circles.
