Summary
Because of his early death at the age of 59 in 1995, Walter Mostert was unable to complete a number of projects. In this collection of his main articles, some of which were hitherto unpublished and others which had been published, but sometimes in relatively unknown journals, the central topic is the creative dynamics of faith, reflected in all its hermeneutical implications. These implications lead to questions concerning the knowledge of truth, the conception of reality or the existence of God and also the problem of evil and sin. Dealing with these different questions in a constant dialogue with Luther's theology, Walter Mostert shows that being a Christian means coping with the fundamental dichotomy between reading the Holy Scripture on the one hand and man's experience of life on the other hand.
