I am not familiar with this theologian but the University of Tübingen is a bastion of liberalism of all varieties. Is this guy an Evanglical (capital "E" as in Lutheran)? He certainly is not evangelical in any other sense.

In May of 1988 I visited the University of Tübingen with a friend who was a missionary with the Navigators who ministered to evangelicals ("e" as opposed to "E") on the campus. The theology department is one of the largest in Germany but at the time there were less than two dozen evangelicals and they were bombarded by liberals including Hans Kung.

The only evangelical on faculty then was Dr. Peter Beyerhaus a professor of world missions. Beyond that it was a wasteland theologically, IMO and the opinion of my friend.

It may have changed since then, but I would be shocked. Anyone who thinks the rosary will draw evangelicals to Rome doesn't understand evangelicals.

I don't know anything about Tobler myself, but Kasper was professor of Catholic Theology at Tubingen. It figures.
