John Waters
- Presentation Saturday, 15 March 2014, 11:00
John Waters is a journalist and writer based in Ireland. He has been writing for Irish newspapers since 1981 and contributing to the Irish Times as a columnist since 1991. He has authored several books, audio books, stage plays, and song lyrics.
John Waters counts among the most prominent voices in public life in Ireland. Having specialised in “raising unpopular issues of public importance” he focuses on current developments in society, culture, and politics. He adopts a decidedly personal standpoint, starting off from life's existential questions, often supported by his personal testimony (e.g. in his best sellers Jiving at the Crossroads and Lapsed Agnostic). This renders his contributions interesting to audiences well beyond Ireland.

Dr. Josef Zöhrer teaches dogmatic theology and didactics of religion at the Freiburg University of Education. Born in 1950 in Knittelfeld (Austria), he studied theology at Graz and Regensburg and went on to teach at a secondary school for a few years.
