Core values
ELRIM is an Evangelical Lutheran research institute. ‘Evangelical Lutheran’ denotes the Christian faith, which is based on the Holy Bible. This faith has been described in the three ecumenical Creeds and in the Lutheran Confessions.
In a process of scientific research, the beliefs and core assumptions of the research worker have an effect on the process and its results. This is why ELRIM wants to acknowledge its core values openly.
