Abstract/Sommario: The document offers, first, a careful examination of New Testament texts pertaining to the apostles and the main aspects of apostolicity. In a second part it sets forth the outcome of investigations from three specific perspectives on apostolicity, namely as a creedal attribute of the church, as a characteristic of church ministry, and as a decisive quality of the teachers and doctrine which our churches require in order to remain in the truth of the gospel
