The Essence of Christianity: Living in Truth and through Grace.

埃勒特·赫姆斯描述了基督教的本质，特别是基督教的生活，他认为基督教是按照关于上帝、世界和生活的实际确定性而作为一个社区生活的典范。这种确定性可以追溯到揭露的启示性事件，它作为可靠的肯定指导着日常生活，而日常生活本身就成为这种确定性的一种表达。基督教确定无疑的具体内容是：我们活着的当下是造物主S在他无所不在的面前实现了团契与和解的愿望(使徒行传17，28)。它通过他自主的自我表露而变得完整。因此，人类对世界、起源和自我的确定性是不断发展的。作者把基督教神学的本质描述为基督教生活的理论，他追溯到基督教确定性的起源可以追溯到最初的启示(启示录)，并阐述了信仰的主题-S的口头忏悔以及其整个忏悔的行动。

Eilert Herms describes the nature of Christianity, and in particular the Christian life, which he sees as being an exemplaric case of living as a community in light of a practical certainty about God, the world and life. This certainty goes back to revelatory events of disclosure, whose affirmation as reliable directs daily life which itself becomes an expression of this certainty. What is specific to Christian certainty is this: our living present is the realization of the creator¿s desire for fellowship and reconciliation in his omnipresence (Acts 17,28). It becomes complete through his autonomous self-disclosure. As a consequence, human certainty of world, origin and self is subject to continuous development. The author depicts the nature of Christian theology as being the theory of the Christian life, he traces the origin of Christian certainty back to primordial instances of disclosure (¿revelations¿), and explicates the subject matter of faith¿s confession in words as well as the whole of its confession in deeds.
