Rudolf Bohren (Grindelwald, 22 March 1920 - Dossenheim, 1 February 2010) was a Swiss Protestant (practical) theologian.
Bohren studied theology in Bern and Basel, especially with Eduard Thurneysen and Karl Barth.
In 1972 he was appointed to the Kirchliche Hochschule Berlin, and in 1974 to the University of Heidelberg where he set up a preaching research center.
[1][2] His first wife tragically died of suicide, which led to the publication of a poignant sermon collection, entitled Tröstungen (Consolations).
The uniqueness of this book lies, among other things, in its poetic approach, the use of non-theological literature, as well as the development of a sermon based on pneumatology.
