English summary: Based on a precise analysis of the Elihu speeches, Tanja Pilger shows their redaction-critical composition and describes a theology according to the different topics mentioned by Elihu. The concept of the divine as a merciful redeemer and the understanding of suffering as education can be regarded as unique concepts in the Elihu speeches. These are combined with the appearance of a merciful angel mediating between suffering mankind and God intending humankind’s redemption. Furthermore, the Elihu speeches shed light on the idea of God’s justice and righteousness as well as on the concept of God as the creator and humankind as God’s creature. The Elihu speeches can be seen as the first theological debate and reflection on Job and his fate. German description: Tanja Pilger legt Komposition und Theologie der Elihureden im Hiobbuch aufgrund der Analyse der Einzelreden dar. Die Komposition weist Fortschreibungen der Elihureden aus und berucksichtigt ihre theologischen Profile im Vergleich zur Dialogdichtung im Hiobbuch. Komposition und Theologie zeichnen den genuin theologischen Gehalt Elihus im Hiobbuch nach. Die Vorstellung der Erziehung im Leiden sowie der Befreiung des Leidenden durch Gott finden bei Elihu Gestalt. Dazu vermittelt ein Engel zwischen dem leidenden Menschen und Gott. Die von Hiob geforderte Gerechtigkeit Gottes greift Elihu auf und vertieft die Vorstellung von Gott als erhabenem und transzendentem Schopfer wie die Geschopflichkeit des Menschen. In den Elihureden hat eine erste theologische Auseinandersetzung mit der Hiobthematik stattgefunden.
