Description: This volume presents the second part of the results of the interdenominational research group which includes members of the Pontifical Lateran University in Rome and the Protestant Faculties in Tübingen and Heidelberg. After studying the "Fundament and Subject of Faith," the results of which were published in 2008 in the first volume, the group finished its study of "Sacrament and Word." The subject is dealt with strictly as a theme of fundamental theology and it is shown that both the Roman Catholic and the Protestant Lutheran traditions understand sacrament and word as an implication of the process of revelation, which is in fact the fundament and subject of faith. This means that sacrament and word are essentially interconnected in both traditions. Although the history of reflection and the terminology are different in both traditions, the reality referred to in both doctrines is seen as identical on both sides. The assumption of radical differences or contradictions is unfounded.
Notes: Documents from the second series of meetings of an international commission of Catholic and Lutheran theologians, who started meeting regularly at the Pontificia Università lateranense, Rome, in 2001. This series of meetings began in 2007 and focuses on the commonalities in Catholic and Lutheran understandings of sacrament and of God's word. Documents from the first series of meetings were published in 2008 under the title: Grund und Gegenstand des Glaubens nach römisch-katholischer und evangelisch-lutherischer Lehre.
