Communicatio socialis

This year, Franz-Josef Eilers celebrated his 75th birthday. Thus, we want to dedicate this Festschrift to him. Both the editors and the contributors are connected to him both scholarly and personally in many ways. With our title, Communicatio Socialis: Challenge of Theology and Ministry in the Church, we have tried to express what could programmatically be one (surely not the only one) headline for Eilers’ ecclesiastical engagement.
