English summary: Evil is a complex category with a complicated history. It contrasts not only with good but also with God, and these contrasts have continued to interact in different ways in the course of history even where they were disregarded. Theories of evil have not always paid enough attention to this. Ingolf U. Dalferth proposes an analysis of evil that takes these historical changes into account and draws attention both to their gains and their losses. He combines a hermeneutical and analytical approach to problems of evil and seeks to outline a way of dealing with evil that does not pretend to make sense of the senseless but rather shows how to relate meaningfully to what is meaningless. German description: Ingolf U. Dalferth rekonstruiert die Sinngeschichte des Bosen am Leitfaden einer zweifachen Unterscheidung: der zwischen gut und bose , und der zwischen bose und Gott . Beide Unterscheidungen fallen nicht zusammen, solange die Differenz zwischen gut und Gott offen gehalten und nicht durch die Trennung beider Momente oder ihre wechselseitige Gleichsetzung aufgelost wird.
Ingolf U.
