Die hier vereinten Beiträge, von denen mehr als ein Drittel unveröffentlicht und das Übrige verstreut publiziert war, schlagen die Brücke von theologischer Grundlagenbesinnung in weite Bereiche der Dogmatik. Nachdem die Lehre von Gott schon im zweiten Band den Schwerpunkte gebildet hatte, fällt nun auf Soteriologie und Ekklesiologie das Hauptgewicht. Dabei umfaßt "Soteriologie", dem Wortsinn gemäß, die Lehre von der Sünde und die Christologie ebenso wie auch Pneumatologie und Eschatologie. Die Ekklesiologie bildet einen besonderen Komplex. In ihm werden die Beziehungen zwischen dem Grundgeschehen von Kirche und ihren geschichtlich bedingten Lebensäußerungen bedacht. Die voranstehenden Beiträge zur Fundamentaltheologie sind für alle weiteren Aufsätze wegweisend. Mit dem Thema "Erfahrung" schlägt der erste Aufsatz den Grundton des Ganzen an. Dementsprechend rücken immer wieder die Probleme in den Brennpunkt, die durch die Neuzeit aufgebrochen sind. Für deren Behandlung ist charakteristisch, daß die vorherrschende Orientierung an Luther und Schleiermacher zu kritischer Offenheit für Grundfragen heutigen Denkens (in Anthropologie, Psychotherapie oder Politik) befähigt. So wird der Leser zu konzentriertem Mitdenken im theologischen Spannungsfeld überlieferter und gegenwärtiger Erfahrung eingeladen.
