English summary: Because of his early death at the age of 59 in 1995, Walter Mostert wasunable to complete a number of projects. In this collection of his mainarticles, some of which were hitherto unpublished and others which hadbeen published, but sometimes in relatively unknown journals, thecentral topic is the creative dynamics of faith, reflected in all itshermeneutical implications. These implications lead to questionsconcerning the knowledge of truth, the conception of reality or theexistence of God and also the problem of evil and sin. Dealing withthese different questions in a constant dialogue with Luther’stheology, Walter Mostert shows that being a Christian means coping withthe fundamental dichotomy between reading the Holy Scripture on the onehand and man’s experience of life on the other hand. German description: Durch den fruhen Tod Walter Mosterts im Jahre 1995 wurden verschiedene Arbeitsprojekte des Verstorbenen abrupt unterbrochen. Der vorliegende Sammelband soll -wenn auch nur bruchstuckhaft – eine Lucke schliessen: hier sind wichtige Aufsatze und Thesenreihen veroffentlicht, aber manchmal nur schwer zuganglich sind. Den roten Faden der Sammlung bildet die Thematik des Glaubens, die in ihren hermeneutischen Voraussetzungen und Implikationen wahrgenommen und durchreflektiert wird.
