English summary: From Adam to Paul, from Eve to Priscilla. In this work twelve men and women each from the bible are presented. What do we know about them due to historical-critical research? What are we to do with this knowledge? What will we never discover about them? How much knowledge is necessary to reasonably discuss them? Often it is the effect of a figure ? in theology and church, as in art and literature ? that brings them to life, even if historical knowledge is thin. Men write about female figures, women write about male figures, trying to fathom what is special about these and whether meeting them today would be worth while. German description: Von Adam bis Paulus, von Eva bis Priscilla: In diesem Band werden je zwolf Frauen und Manner aus der Bibel vorgestellt. Was wissen wir dank historisch-kritischer Forschung uber sie? Was fangen wir mit diesem Wissen an? Und was werden wir nie uber sie erfahren? Wie viel Wissen ist notig, um sich sinnvoll mit ihnen auseinanderzusetzen? Wie haben sie spatere Generationen beeinflusst? Oft ist es gerade die Wirkung einer Gestalt – in Theologie und Kirche, aber auch in Kunst und Literatur -, die ihr “ein Gesicht” verleiht, selbst wenn sich historisch nur wenig uber sie aussagen lasst. Manner schreiben uber Frauen, Frauen schreiben uber Manner: Alle versuchen zu ergrunden, was an den Gestalten des Lebens so besonders ist, dass es sich lohnt, ihnen heute zu begegnen.
