English summary: The ninth volume in the series “Studium Systematischer Theologie” (Studying Systematic Theology) presents historical and systematic information about soteriology. The biblical approach is identified by means of a juxtaposition of Adam’s fall and Jesus Christ’s descent into hell and further explained particularly through the Johannine and Pauline kerygma. Athanasius and Maximus Confessor are examples of the early church soteriology in the East. The classic tradition of the medieval and reformatory West is represented by Anselm and Abaelard, Luther and Calvin. The portrayal of modern criticism of substitution and satisfaction starts with Socinianism, which shapes the later development until Kant and beyond. The volume concludes with a sketch of a theologia crucis for the present time, and of a doctrine of redemption grounded in incarnation theology, which offers instruction about the right way to deal with the aporia of suffering and evil in theory and practice. German description: Der neunte Band der Reihe “Studium Systematische Theologie” bietet historische und systematische Informationen zur Soteriologie. Der biblische Ansatz wird anhand einer Gegenuberstellung des adamitischen Sundenfalls und der Hollenfahrt Jesu Christi identifiziert und insbesondere am paulinischen und johanneischen Kerygma expliziert. Als exemplarische Reprasentanten altkirchlicher Soteriologie des Ostens fungieren Athanasius und Maximus Confessor; fur die klassische Tradition des mittelalterlichen und reformatorischen Westens stehen Anselm und Abaelard, Luther und Calvin. Die Darstellung neuzeitlicher Kritik von Stellvertretung und Satisfaktion beginnt mit den Sozinianern, die den weiteren Gang der Entwicklung bis zu Kant und daruber hinaus entscheidend bestimmen. Der Band schliesst mit einer Skizze von Grundzugen einer aktuellen theologia crucis und einer inkarnationstheologisch fundierten Erlosungslehre, welche in den rechten theoretischen und praktischen Umgang mit den Aporien von Ubel und Bosheit einzuweisen vermag.
Dr. Gunther Wenz ist em. Professor fur Systematische Theologie an der Ev.-Theol. Fakultat der LMU Munchen.
