English summary: Words of life specify what Christians believe in. They instruct to criticise reality and give hope for change. How can we speak about these words of life theologically responsible and in understandable language today? How can their controversial history and cultural perspectives come to life? How can these words participate in clarifying the connection of Faith, knowledge, learning and doing? This “ABC of protestant thinking” was created by competent experts from university and practical church. It reveals, keeping an ecumenical open mind, the programmatic terms of protestant thinking and introduces to the multitude of theological understanding. German description: Worter zum Leben benennen, was Christinnen und Christen glauben. Sie leiten an zur Kritik der Wirklichkeit und stiften Hoffnung auf Veranderungen. Doch wie lasst sich heute theologisch verantwortet und zugleich in alltagstauglicher Sprache von diesen Lebens-Wortern reden? Wie werden ihre oft kontroverse Geschichte und ihre kulturellen Welten lebendig? Wie konnen sie dazu beitragen, den Zusammenhang von Glauben, Wissen, Lernen und Tun zu klaren? Dieses “ABC evangelischen Denkens”, verfasst von kompetenten Fachleuten aus Hochschule und kirchlicher Praxis, erschliesst in okumenischer Offenheit die programmatischen Begriffe evangelischen Denkens und fuhrt in die Vielfalt theologischen Verstehens ein.
