German description: Ist die naturale Seite der Schopfung nur gut und entspricht uneingeschrankt dem guten Willen Gottes? Oder finden sich in ihr dunkle Aspekte, denen Gottes Widerwille gilt? In dieser Frage pladiert der Band fur eine realistische Antwort, die die feindlichen Aspekte der Natur theologisch anerkennt. Der Mensch begegnet der Natur als gefahrdeter Gefahrder. Dieser realistische Ansatz des bekannten Bochumer Systematikers Gunter Thomas wendet sich gegen ein harmonisch-romantisches Naturverstandnis, das sich im Schatten der Formel Friede, Gerechtigkeit und Bewahrung der Schopfung herausgebildet hat. Die Beitrage blicken auf gegenwartige Debatten zu Evolution und Gute der Schopfung, befragen das Drama der biblischen Urgeschichte und werten Erfahrungen der Pandemie aus. Sie verbinden provozierende Interventionen in die kirchliche Debatte mit Einblicken in die Schopfungstheologien J. Moltmanns, K. Barths und D. Bonhoeffers. English summary: Is the natural side of creation only good, and does it correspond unconditionally to the good will of God? Or are there darker aspects to it, to which God seems to be opposed? This volume is a plea for a realistic answer to this question, one that theologically acknowledges the hostile aspects of nature. It is as a threatened endangerer that man encounters nature. This realistic approach by the well-known Bochum theologian Gunter Thomas is opposed to an overly harmonious and romantic understanding of nature that has emerged in the shadow of the formula Peace, Justice and Integrity of creation. The various sections address contemporary debates on evolution and the goodness of creation, question the drama of biblical prehistory, and evaluate experiences of the pandemic. They combine insights into the theologies of creation by J. Moltmann, K. Barth and D. Bonhoeffer with provocative interventions into the ecclesial debate.
