English summary: The word faith does not just denote one of theology's many topics, but rather encompasses Christian theology in its entirety. The authors of this volume present how faith is understood in biblical writings, trace the development of the concept of faith and its understanding throughout the history of the church, examine how faith was perceived in Jewish literature and religious studies, and conclude by asking where faith currently finds itself in contemporary church practice.
German description: Das Stichwort Glaube benennt nicht ein Thema der Theologie neben vielen anderen, sondern umgreift das Ganze der christlichen Theologie. In diesem Band stellen die Autoren das Verstandnis des Glaubens in den biblischen Schriften dar, spuren der Entwicklung des Glaubensbegriffs und des Glaubensverstandnisses in der Geschichte der Kirche bis zur Gegenwart nach, beleuchten das Verstandnis des Glaubens in der judischen Literatur und in der Religionswissenschaft und fragen abschliessend nach dem Standort des Glaubens in der gegenwartigen kirchlichen Praxis.
