My Chance Meeting with Heinrich Ott
Frank D. Macchia
I had just gotten out of bed and was brushing my teeth when my wife, Verena, entered the bathroom and asked a most unlikely question, “Guess who’s sitting downstairs waiting for you?” It was just last June. We were visiting my sister-in-law, Delia, at her home in Basel, Switzerland for a couple of days after a lengthy vacation in Europe. We only had a short time to spend at Basel before we were to fly back to the States. When my wife asked the question, I didn’t have a clue as to how I should answer. After rinsing I looked up at her and asked, “Who?” Her answer stunned me: “Professor Heinrich Ott!” I hadn’t seen him since I graduated from the University of Basel in 1989. Since he was not my major advisor in the program, I fell out of touch with him over the years. Besides, our rel- atively short visits to Switzerland over the years since then (only four as I recall) were overflowing with the demands of visiting numerous rela- tives. I had always meant to re-establish contact with him…
“How did this happen that he would be here, now?” I thought. I didn’t want to keep him waiting, so I threw on a shirt and proceeded downstairs still wearing the trousers to my PJ’s. I looked in the living room to find my nephew, Beat, who had come to accompany me that morning on a tour of theological bookstores. He pointed outside with a look of under- standing, as though he was willing to wait for me.
I walked outside to the patio area to find him standing there waiting for me. He was naturally older-looking than I recalled his being in the old days but he was Heinrich Ott without a doubt. It seems that my wife had bumped into him quite by chance while visiting the local bank ATM and invited him to her sister-in-law’s house for coffee. Who would have thought? As is well known, Ott replaced Karl Barth at the University of Basel upon Barth’s retirement from that chair. In 1963, Robert C. Johnston, then Dean of the Yale Divinity School, described Ott as “[f]rom the shoul- ders down… natty, almost ivy-leaguish. From the shoulders up he rather

resembles a playful, lovable teddy bear in need of a haircut—with a dis- tinct twinkle in his eye…” (Expository Times, June, 1963). That is pretty much how I remembered him, a more mature version, of course, when I first met him twenty years later in 1983. And when I saw him stand- ing there last June, he still hadn’t changed much. His still-thick head of hair was just as in need of a haircut as ever, and that twinkle was still in his eye.
We sat down and began to catch up. Not long after we began, how- ever, our conversation shifted to theology, to his book on apologetical theology written about ten years ago, not long before his retirement, and my own productivity. Since Ott’s scholarly work was not picked up by the English-speaking world after the 1960’s, there was much for me to discover concerning his writings while at Basel in the 1980’s. His two think volumes entitled, Wirklichkeit und Glaube(Reality and Faith) among other things (especially his voluminous participation with Jan Lochman and Fritz Büri in the three-volume, Dogmatik im Dialog, and his extremely helpful summa, Die Antwort des Glaubens) were a virtual feast for me as a doctoral student. Ott attempted to take seriously the late Barth’s accep- tance of a theological method starting with anthropology but anchored in the event of Jesus Christ, thus bridging Bultmann and Barth, Ott’s for- mer teachers. In dialogue with the late Heiddegger, Ott regarded system- atic theology as centrally hermeneutical and dialogical, not shying away from human questions of existence or “being” but rather engaging them constructively from the vantage point of revelation and faith, and in a way that does not place God at the disposal of our ideologies and sys- tems. Moving freely between the poles of philosophical and theological reflection, his seminars were lively conversations in which he engaged enthusiastically, pulling out his pocket notebook to jot down ideas when- ever something particularly brilliant was being said (I tended to gauge the success of a seminar paper by the number of times I provoked him to do this!). We engaged in an intriguing conversation that day last June and I found that he was still my teacher. His theological breadth of learn- ing and the expanse of his ecumenical vision impacted me afresh and I was reminded of those things that attracted me to him during my days as a doctoral student, provoking me to take almost as many seminars and colloquia with him as I took with my advisor, another great teacher in my life, Jan Lochman (to whom my next editorial will be dedicated). Age did not dim that twinkle in Ott’s eye, for he was just as enthusiastic about theological discovery in my recent conversation with him as ever before.

My Chance Meeting with Heinrich Ott
My theological vision has been permanently enriched by my living engage- ment with this unusually gifted scholar and teacher.
Teachers are God’s gifts to us, as Paul implies in 1 Corinthians 3:22. They not only impart ideas and methods of inquiry, they model a vision and a passion, as well as a way of thinking and communicating. They take us by the hand and ask us to walk behind, and then alongside them, perhaps, in time, even in front of them. Without them, we would lack the humility and wisdom that comes with insight into how little we presently understand as well as the guidance needed to increase knowledge and expand our souls to greater dimensions of reality. They affect us not only in the printed page but especially in person (a dimension being threat- ened I believe by the wave of interest in online programs). I have had the privilege of studying under many great teachers, including Geoffrey Wainwright at Union Theological Seminary, Walter Hollenweger during his year as guest professor at Basel in 1986, my Doktorvater, Jan Lochman, at Basel, and, of course, the brilliant Gerald T. Sheppard at Union Theological Seminary. I must also mention the seminal influence of Cecil Robeck and Murray Dempster upon me in my upperclassman years as a fledgling college student (and beyond). All of them have influenced the shape and complexity of my theological vision enormously. Here is my tribute to them all as well as my gratitude to God for giving them to me, if only for a season.
