Summary/Abstract: This fundamental theological paper deals with the soteriological foundations of the ecumenical movement. In the beginning, the author connects the contemporary endeavour for visible Church unity with the historicity of salvation. God has a definite plan with humanity, and the process of salvation continues from the covenants to the reign of God through the Christian Church. Within this context, salvation has two main under-standings, and at least eight different models.
