Spirituality as a topic in systematic theology is taken up here using the example of Chiara Lubich, who was born in 1920 and later founded the Focolare Movement. This is the first comprehensive treatment using the original sources. Her multi-facetted concept of love and her understanding of the unity of the Trinity are grounded in Jesus being forsaken by God as an at one and the same time internal to the divinity and an actual earthly event. Amidst the suffering of a broken world, this offers the experience of salvation and the encounter with God.

Appendices contain thematic tables, a subject index and an index of names.
