Christoph Auffarth’s major research focuses are ancient Greek and Roman religions, the history of medieval European religions, and the history of science and religion in the 20th century. The central theme of his works are the plurality and interactional dynamics of different religions or intra-religious factions. During his time in Bochum he will investigate the religion of Third Reich and its underlying processes of selection and reception within the framework of the transformation of religion towards an innerworldly eschatology from the 19th to the 20th century.
