hartmut von sass
I am Professor for Systematic Theology and Philosophy of Religion as well as Heisenberg Scholar at the Faculty of Theology, Humboldt University Berlin.
Before that, I was teaching at the University of Zurich (2006-13) and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (2014-19). I held visiting appointments at Claremont (CGU, '09), Oxford (Trinity, '12), Pasadena (Fuller, '14), and Berkeley (UC, '18). And before all that, I studied theology and philosophy in Goettingen, Edinburgh, and Berlin.
