Currently, I am working on a book project tentatively titled
Within this project I am discussing the move of modern theology through various images of God/god towards an approach that I call ‘radical humanism’ focusing on human dignity based on human and ecological connections. In the context of my own spiritual journey I follow ‘imago dei’ (image of god) interpretations from ‘Abba’ (father) to the ‘Zerrissene Gott’ (torn God) all the way (radical) to agnostic and atheistic perspectives as represented by ethical systems operating without god (e.g., humanism).
Further, I am using a creative non-fiction approach while exploring the journey I undertook to learn about, to experience, to engage in, and to exercise leadership, community development, and life celebrations. The working title for the project is:
“From Leadership to Companionship – Memories, Reflections, and My Quest for Meaning”.
Finally, I am working on the first volume of a trilogy (or maybe even series?) with the working title
“Forever, Wherever – Mysteries and Adventures across times and spaces”,
featuring a Benedictine monk and an accountant who break free of their limiting past and embark on various adventures in connection with their consulting work in forensic accounting around the globe and across several time periods (including the future … needless to say 😉).
Before that, I integrated three research project themes that are close to my heart and mind: Values-orientation, leadership, and futures-studies. In addition to several opportunities for presentations and publications, in 2021 I have published an edited a book (Cambridge Scholars Publishing) on
First, we present leadership approaches from the past and present. Second, we critically discuss these in light of foreseeable future challenges and scenarios. Third, drawing from the field of futures studies and foresight we present and discuss concepts of leadership that are “futures ready” (see details under Publications).
