A textbook for the study of theology and preparation for examinations, as well as for a systematic-theological reflection on the practice of this profession in church and school. This work presents the essence of the Christian faith and reflects on the Christian understanding of God and the world in regard to the truth of its contents and its significance. Major interests of such dogmatics are: clarity of the concepts, contacts with biblical and church tradition, as well as conveying these with the experience and thought of the present-day world.
