The research report provides information on areas of operation as well as new publications primarily in protestant and French-speaking Practical Theology. It characterizes three axes of understanding Practical Theology: as a theological hermeneutic, as a Theology of ecclesial practices and as a critical reflection on culture. Within the second chapter it emphasizes topics that are identified to embody new areas of work among Practical Theology particularly in France: The list includes the aspects of Missiology, Feminist Theology as well as arts and vision. In his final chapter, the author presents an overview on literature dealing with classical fields of practical theological research: Whereas homiletics, liturgy and church-theory are traditionally in the focus of Protestantism, catechetics up to now represent a domain of Catholic Practical Theology.
