English summary: This volume presents the second part of the results of the interdenominational research group which includes members of the Pontifical Lateran University in Rome and the Protestant Faculties in Tubingen and Heidelberg. After studying the aFundament and Subject of Faith, the results of which were published in 2008 in the first volume, the group finished its study of aSacrament and Word. The subject is dealt with strictly as a theme of fundamental theology and it is shown that both the Roman Catholic and the Protestant Lutheran traditions understand sacrament and word as an implication of the process of revelation, which is in fact the fundament and subject of faith. This means that sacrament and word are essentially interconnected in both traditions. Although the history of reflection and the terminology are different in both traditions, the reality referred to in both doctrines is seen as identical on both sides. The assumption of radical differences or contradictions is unfounded. German description: Die Forschungsgruppe aus Mitgliedern der Papstlichen Lateranuniversitat, Rom, und den Evangelisch-theologischen Fakultaten Tubingen und Heidelberg legt den zweiten Band ihrer Arbeitsergebnisse vor: nach den Studien zur romisch-katholischen und zur evangelisch-lutherischen Sicht von Grund und Gegenstand des Glaubens (2008) nun die Studienergebnisse uber Sakrament und Wort. Sie behandelt dieses Thema konsequent fundamentaltheologisch und zeigt: Fur beide Traditionen sind Sakrament und Wort reale Implikate des Offenbarungsgeschehens, das der Grund und Gegenstand des Glaubens ist. In beiden Traditionen verweist das Verstandnis von Wort auf das Verstandnis von Sakrament und umgekehrt. Trotz Unterschieden in der Reflexions- und Begriffsentwicklung intendieren und erfassen beide Seiten dieselbe Sache in so gut wie volliger Ubereinstimmung. Die Vermutung tiefgreifender Unterschiede oder Gegensatze ist unzutreffend. Mit Beitragen von: Eilert Herms, Enrico dal Covolo, Giuseppe Lorizio, Antonio Sabetta, Massimo Serretti
