What Might Make Life Better? “The time of simple answers is over. Left — right, conservative — progressive, feminine — masculine … ‘Such bipolar thought patterns are no longer sufficient to understand our complex late-modern world,’ says Professor Michael Welker, the renowned Heidelberg theologian. New, pluralistic explanations are needed. For the functioning of the world, the coexistence of people and the relationship with God”, according to the report by Diana Deutsch in the Rhein-Neckar-Zeitung. Michael Welker and 150 international researchers spent five years dissecting, sorting and examining late modernity. The result is now available: “What Might Make Life Better?” The oeuvre is neatly divided into an introductory and overview volume (German and English) plus ten volumes for the ten social system areas that were examined: Family, Religion, Politics, Law, Healthcare, Academic Research, Education, Market, Media and Military. The ten summarizing lectures of the final conference in Heidelberg are published as videos by the TheoLogo Online Academy — starting with this overview by Welker on the overall project and on religion.
