Dittrich. * interview with Julia Garschagen: "I never use the word sin" How to communicate the Gospel to people in the postmodern age? Why not insist at the outset that the gospel is true? And how to speak or not to speak about sin? Why, according to her, is contemporary society affected by an existential crisis? What to do about the spreading deconstruction of faith?
