English summary: This collection of Reinhard Feldmeier’s essays is linked by a common theme: the question about God, posed repeatedly by Jews, Christians and Gentiles. The author shows how the biblical belief in God is discussed again and again in the context of ancient religiosity and philosophy in a perpetual process of assimilation and delimitation, rejection and appropriation, surpassing and transformation and in this way how the examination of the history of religion helps raise our awareness of the biblical discourse on God. In the first part, Feldmeier deals with the history of ancient religion in the Roman Empire and in the second part he traces how in this context Jews and Christians reflected on their belief in the God of Israel and the father of Jesus Christ and created a new awareness of this. In the third part he focuses on the connection between the belief in God and Christology. German description: Die hier zusammengestellten Abhandlungen Reinhard Feldmeiers sind verbunden durch ihr gemeinsames Thema, die von Juden, Christen und Heiden immer wieder neu gestellte Frage nach Gott. Gezeigt wird, wie der biblische Gottesglauben im Kontext der antiken Religiositat und Philosophie in einem fortwahrenden Prozess von Anpassung und Abgrenzung, Abstossung und Aneignung, Uberbietung und Uberformung jeweils neu zur Sprache gebracht wurde und wie so gerade die Auseinandersetzung mit der Religionsgeschichte dazu verhilft, die Konturen der biblischen Rede von Gott umso scharfer wahrzunehmen. “Feldmeiers Uberlegungen inspirieren ausdrucklich nicht nur diejenigen, die einen Faible fur antike Philosophie und Religionsgeschichte haben, sondern alle, die an einem theologischen Urteil in Koharenz zu den biblischen Gedanken interessiert sind.”Simon Blatz in ichthys 32 (2016), S. 203-205
