Timo Güzelmansur

Until the summer of 2006, he was the personal adviser to the Bishop of Anatolia. He obtained his doctorate in dogmatics at the Philosophic-Theological University Sankt Georgen in Frankfurt am Main. Since October 2006 he has been working at CIBEDO (Christian-Islamic Encounter and Documentation Centre) as a consultant for Islam in its Turkish form. He sees himself as a bridge builder both between cultures (Germany – Turkey) and between religions (Christianity – Islam).

He was appointed General Director of CIBEDO by the German Bishops’ Conference with effect from 1 February 2012. Among other things, he is a member of the Sub-Commission on Religious Relations of the Catholic Church with Muslims, which is part of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue (PCID), since February 2020.

Catholic Theology in dialogue with Islam (Frankfurt)

Catholic theology in Europe is increasingly confronted with the questions and criticisms of Muslim intellectuals who, in particular, point out the convergences between the two religions. The research project aims to perceive this new context of theology, to analyse it carefully, and to reformulate the potentials of the Christian tradition.
