English summary: Protestant theology is faced with the task of not losing touch with Christian piety as it is lived. In order to keep the connection, it has to be able to answer unequivocally the seemingly simple sounding religious questions stemming from everyday consciousness which are suffused with presuppositions and implications. Dietrich Korsch wishes to strengthen the competence of those challenged with answering such queries. His volume is therefore aimed at theology students before graduation who seek ways to integrate subdisciplines, at clergymen and women confronted with new experiences within their communities, as well as both the church and educational theologians whose religious practice is surrounded by these questions. It is also suitable for the preparation of congregational and academic seminars. German description: Die wissenschaftliche Theologie im Protestantismus steht vor der Aufgabe, den Kontakt zur gelebten Frommigkeit nicht zu verlieren. Dafur muss sie in die Lage versetzen, scheinbar einfach klingende religiose Fragen, die dem Alltagsbewusstsein entstammen, die aber eine Fulle von Vorannahmen und Implikationen in sich tragen, konzentriert zu beantworten. Diese Kompetenz mochte Dietrich Korsch starken. Er richtet sich damit an Studierende der Theologie, die auf das Examen zugehen und sich um Integration der Facher bemuhen, an Vikarinnen und Vikare mit den fur sie neuen Erfahrungen in der Gemeinde sowie wie an Theologinnen und Theologen in Kirche und Schule, denen solche Fragen in der religiosen Praxis allenthalben begegnen. Auch fur die Vorbereitung von Seminaren in Kirchengemeinden und Akademien ist dieser Band geeignet.
