Augustana Divinity School (Neuendettelsau)
The Augustana-Hochschule Neuendettelsau is a divinity school of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bavaria in Neuendettelsau, Germany. As an outcome of the Church’s struggle with National Socialism it was founded in 1947 upon decision by the Provincial Synod of the Evangelical-Lutheran Church in Bavaria.
The Divinity School is independent of the state. It has close ties with the church’s social and welfare work and with its missionary work. In 1990, the Divinity School was conferred the right to award doctoral degrees and in the near future a master’s program will be established.
There are good contacts with the nearby Theological Faculty of the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt, the MF Norwegian School of Theology in Oslo (Norway) and the Wartburg Theological Seminary, Dubuque, Iowa. The school also maintains connections with the Evangelical Lutheran Churches of Papua New Guinea, Brazil, Tanzania and Zaire through a scholarship program.

“A physician’s physiology has much the same relation to his power of healing as a cleric’s divinity has to his power of influencing conduct.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“By school age, many boys experience pressure to reveal inner feelings as humiliating. They think their mothers are saying to them, “You must be hiding something shameful.” And shucking clams is a snap compared to prying secrets out of a boy who’s decided to “clam up.””
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
