English summary: Life from a religious Christian point of view, evolves in continual quest for God, when the 'great history of God', which is biblically testified, is to be related to a specific personal biography. This is what the recent study of the multi-confessional German Ecumenical Study Committee, DOSTA, describes as the mutual basic position of Christian confessions. God is movement, liveliness, interrelation, companionship and compassion, but also countermovement against evil. Contrary to the way the 'new atheists' propagate him, he is not an authoritarian god who would reign over human beings as a 'general on the hill'. If in this connection the following issues were to be discussed, Trinity, God's incarnation in Jesus Christ, His presence in the sacrament and His seclusion in suffering and pain, about the comprehension of prayer or even about God's Work in history, that would by no means be higher theological mathematics. In the study at hand, this occurs in four steps from experiencing God over encountering God and the search for God and ultimately to God's Work in human history. A book to discover 'ecumenism of life' in the congregation, at school and on campus.

Wenn also hier von Trinitat, von Gottes Menschwerdung in Jesus Christus, von seiner Erfahrbarkeit im Sakrament und seiner Verborgenheit im Leiden, vom Verstandnis des Gebets oder gar vom Wir
