Julia Garschagen is a speaker at the Institute for Science, Culture, and Faith based in Cologne, Germany. She frequently gives lectures in universities, in the business context, and at different events across Germany and Europe about an intellectually robust faith, and addressing societal and existential questions from a Christian perspective.

 

Before joining the Institute, Julia worked for many years as a regional coordinator with SMD (InterVarsity Germany), a network of Christians in schools, at universities, and in workplaces. She also stayed a year in England, speaking at university missions in both the UK and Europe. Before this, she worked for a year with people living in extreme poverty in Lima, Peru. This experience inspired her to establish a small charity which helps young people in Peru to access and pursue higher education, and to break the cycle of poverty.

 

Julia studied theology in Wuppertal, Germany, and earned her MA in theology at King’s College, London. Key areas of Julia’s research included, among others, the question of suffering (theodicy) and the contemporary critique of the atonement.
