Clemens Thoma
Clemens Thoma (November 2, 1932 – December 7, 2011) was a Swiss theologian.[1]
He was professor of theology and Jewish studies and founder of the Institute for Jewish-Christian Studies (IJCF) at the University of Lucerne.[2]
He grew up as one of eleven children in a family in the Canton of St. Gallen.[3] After theological studies at St. Augustin near Bonn and St. Gabriel in Vienna, he was ordained a priest. At the University of Vienna, he studied Judaism under Kurt Schubert.[3]
As part of his research Thoma undertook a systematic approach to present Rabbinic parables to New Testament scholars, for comparative purposes.[4] In 1994 Thoma received the Buber-Rosenzweig-Medal. Hayim Perelmuter stated that Thoma's work on the Rabbinic parables "adornes the world of scholarship".[5]
