This contribution aims to answer the question of whether there is such a thing as a Protestant
understanding of general sacramentality, as is traditionally the case for Catholic theology.
This paper argues that as a result of productive conversation with Catholic colleagues, an
understanding of sacramentality and the sacraments emerges which also proves to be viable
and fruitful in Protestant terms. I will examine whether it is possible to sketch an understanding
of a general doctrine of the sacraments and, beyond that, of sacramentality itself,
which begins with Jesus Christ as the original and genuine sacrament. Only from Jesus Christ,
namely, can reality itself be understood as not remaining unaffected by God‘s unwavering
devotion to His creation, which is sustained in and through His presence and which allows
for a deeper understanding of the individual sacraments.
