“Abdicato episcopatu, uxorem duxi” The Case of Dudith (1567) and the Perception of Interculturality at the Micro Level

Summary/Abstract: This paper reinterprets the famous letter of abdication of Andreas Dudith (1533–1589) from the perspective of interculturality. The paper examines the circumstances that led Bishop and Imperial Envoy Andreas Dudith to relinquish his prestigious office and influential political position as a result of doctrinal conflicts within Christianity. He remained a Christian, yet his life was centered elsewhere. He proceeded to construct a novel, academically engaged lifestyle, characterized by a comprehensive outlook. In the interval between two markedly disparate life phases, the resigning bishop interrogates the motives underlying his erstwhile clerical status, as well as the establishment and mission of the Church.
