English summary: According to Reinhard Leuze, it is important to see Christianity in the context of the other monotheistic religions, Judaism and Islam. They all relate to the revelation of God who is one and who gives a notion of his unutterable mystery.

More DescriptionEnglish summary: According to Reinhard Leuze, it is important to see Christianity in the context of the other monotheistic religions, Judaism and Islam. They all relate to the revelation of God who is one and who gives a notion of his unutterable mystery. The Christian answer to the relationship between transcendence and revelation is the faith in the incarnation of God in the person of Jesus Christ. Jesus is not just a prophet like the prophets of the Old Testament or Muhammad. He is indeed the revelation, not because of the words he has spoken or what he has done but because he is the son of God. This notion underlies the Christian understanding of the Trinity. The continuous presence of the incarnation necessitates a church that certifies the Christian faith by the word of God and the sacraments. German text. German description: Das zentrale Problem, das Judentum, Christentum und Islam teilen, ist das Verhaltnis von der Transzendenz und Offenbarung Gottes, der Beziehung von Verborgenheit und Prasenz. Stellt man das Christentum in den Zusammenhang der monotheistischen Religionen, wie im ersten Teil diese Buches, tritt sein Profil deutlich hervor. Reinhard Leuze widmet sich im zweiten Teil den besonderen Merkmalen des christlichen Glaubens. Er behandelt Fragen der Trinitat, der Person Jesu, des Wortes Gottes und der Leiblichkeit Christi und des Gottesbildes allgemein. Abschliessend wendet er sich ekklesiologischen Fragestellungen zu, wobei das Handeln der Kirche in Wort und Sakrament im Mittelpunkt steht.
