Thank you for visiting my website. My name
is Ruard Ganzevoort, and I am dean of the Faculty of
Theology and professor of practical theology at the Vrije
Universiteit Amsterdam. My main areas of interest in the
field of religion are trauma, sexuality, conflict,
identity, and popular culture. I have published or edited
27 books and more than 210 scientific or professional
publications. I was president of the International Academy of Practical
Theology from 2007-2009 and president of the International Society for Empirical
Research in Theology from 2014-2018. Together with
prof. Nancy Ammerman and dr. Srdjan Sremac, I am the
series editor of Palgrave Studies in Lived Religion
and Societal Challenges.
Since June 2011, I am also a member of the
Senate
in the Dutch national parliament for the Green party GroenLinks. I am spokesperson for
primary and secondary education, Defense, Home Affairs,
and Kingdom Affairs

religion and homosexuality. I wrote it together
with two former students, Mark van der Laan and
Erik Olsman.

In 2013
I wrote the the invited essay for the "Nacht van
de Theologie", Spelen
met heilig vuur. Waarom de theologie haar claim
op de waarheid moet opgeven. This
pamphlet argues for a pluralist, dialogical,
fragmentary public theology with a deep interest
in (popular) cultural expressions of religious
meanings.
