Resumen de Social commitment: voluntary, obligatory?: a theological view on the freedom of a christian
In this article I would like to highlight our Erasmus+ K1 project concerning the aspect of "voluntary social engagement" in a German vocational school and focus on the aspect of "voluntary", taking into account theological topics – including "Free Will", the “new man” of St. Paul, and the problems of "power and temptation" – before finally drawing conclusions for project work in the field of social engagement from the perspective of theology. An empirical attempt will be made to connect statements of young-sters about their image of God and the consequences of this to the aims of social engagement. From the qualitative methodology of grounded theory, categories emerge which can be crucial for concepts of social engagement.
