Das Bose
edited by Elisabeth Grab-Schmidt and Martina Kumlehn
German description: Das Bose ist immer und uberall hat die Pop-Rock-Band Erste Allgemeine Verunsicherung 1986 in ironischer Brechung gesungen. Dieser Satz kann jedoch auch mit tiefem Ernst existenzielle Erfahrungen spiegeln. Phanomene wie Lugen, Gewalt und Kriege verbinden sich exemplarisch mit dem, was wir bose oder das Bose nennen und was unsere Existenz und unser Zusammenleben grundlegend bedroht. Es kann als Kraft der Negativitat verstanden werden, als abstrakte (oder gar substantielle) Wirklichkeit, als antagonistisches Prinzip des Guten, oder als Ausdruck konkreter moralisch verfehlter Handlungen. Theologisch ist zu reflektieren, wie die Rede von Gott mit der Wirklichkeit des Bosen ins Verhaltnis gesetzt werden kann. Die Frage nach den Ursachen des Bosen ruft also auch die Problematik der Theodizee und die Sehnsucht nach der Erlosung von dem Bosen auf. Die Beitrage aus den Fachern Altes Testament (Friedhelm Hartenstein) und Neues Testament (Michael Wolter) sowie aus der Systematischen Theologie (Heiko Schulz, Dietrich Korsch) stellen sich diesem herausfordernden Themenfeld. English summary: Evil is always and everywhere sang the pop-rock band Erste Allgemeine Verunsicherung in 1986 with an ironic twist. However, this sentence can also reflect existential experiences with deep seriousness. Phenomena such as lies, violence, and wars are exemplarily linked to what we call evil and what fundamentally threatens our existence and our coexistence. It can be understood as a force of negativity, as an abstract (or even substantial) reality, as an antagonistic principle of good, or as an expression of concrete morally misguided actions. Theologically, it is necessary to reflect on how talk of God can be placed in relation to the reality of evil. The question of the causes of evil therefore also raises the problem of theodicy and the longing for redemption from evil. The contributions from the subjects of Old Testament (Friedhelm Hartenstein) and New Testament (Michael Wolter) as well as Systematic Theology (Heiko Schulz, Dietrich Korsch) address this challenging topic.
