An Evening about Power, Faith, and the Fragile Defense of Democracy
On July 21, 2026, literature, diagnosis of the times, and political discourse come together at the Protestant Education Center Regensburg: Arnd Henze talks with Prof. Dr. Volker Depkat about his book With God Against Democracy. The event combines readings, conversation, and critical contextualization of Christian nationalism, religion as an instrument of power, and the question of how democratic societies can assert themselves against ideological appropriation.
A Book that Illuminates the Present Unvarnished
Henze's publication, released in March 2026 by Gütersloher Verlagshaus, tracks the global networks of religious radicalization with journalistic precision and historical depth. Born in 1961, the author works as a television editor at WDR, was a correspondent at the ARD capital studio, and is considered an experienced observer of international crises and conflicts. His perspective combines research, political analysis, and theological education into a powerful, contentious non-fiction book.
Reading Atmosphere at EBW Regensburg
The evening at EBW Regensburg, Am Ölberg 2, promises a concentrated literary experience in an open conversational atmosphere. The format as a live event creates closeness between the author, audience, and conversation partner. Those interested in diagnoses of the present, religious politics, and social responsibility will experience not merely a book presentation but an author encounter with intellectual weight.
Location, Admission, and Practical Information
The Protestant Education Center Regensburg is located in the old town of Regensburg and specializes in educational and discourse formats. The event page lists participation as free; donations are welcome. Registration is required. Thus, the evening is directed at an audience seeking well-founded non-fiction impulses, discussions, and cultural orientation.
Why It’s Worth Attending
This event appeals to readers who understand literature not as retreat but as a space for thought. Arnd Henze opens with his book a view on the political consequences of religious power claims and asks what forms of democratic resilience are necessary today. Those who value societal debates with literary and journalistic depth should experience this evening live.
