This research project -Theodicy and Soteriology- examines the apparent contradiction posed by the omnipotence and love of God, and the reality of evil and suffering in the world, and seeks to explain it through the lens of redemption. In doing so, the project considers the trilemma of theodicy, which proceeds from the discrepancies perceived between the experience of the world, the conception of God, and the question of the justification of God in a world of suffering. The study uses the texts of three significant Protestant and Roman Catholic theologians: Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Jürgen Moltmann and Johann Baptist Metz, interpreting, comparing and evaluating their theological accounts in view of their understanding of the problem of theodicy and the ways in which this understanding is based on their theologia crucis and the role of the Spirit. The project then explores the ways in which their notions of suffering and evil are related to their understandings of the redemptive cross-event of the triune God. However, a theology after Auschwitz must also integrate the Jewish voices on the subject of theodicy into the dialogue. It also incorporates current discussions on theodicy from the field of Philosophy of Religion, with special focus on the problem of evil, unde malum?, as well as the most recent Trinitarian motifs. This approach enables the study to build bridges with other subjects. In interrogating these authors, the project asks what Trinitarian motifs are required for a cross-centred theology that depicts the suffering of a united triune God. One aim is to show that hope in the face of suffering is only possible if the question of Psalm 22 is asked from the perspective of the redemption of the suffering God. Ultimately, the relevance of the project transcends the field of Theology and even the wider disciplines of the humanities; it asks not only what it means to do theology after Auschwitz but, more significantly, what it means to live ethically after Auschwitz. In the words of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, what might Life Together look like, after Auschwitz?This research project -Theodicy and Soteriology- examines the apparent contradiction posed by the omnipotence and love of God, and the reality of evil and suffering in the world, and seeks to explain it through the lens of redemption.

这项研究项目--神学和经世论--考察了上帝的无所不能和爱所构成的明显矛盾，以及世界上邪恶和痛苦的现实，并试图通过救赎的镜头来解释它。在这样做的过程中，该项目考虑了神学的三难境地，它源于对世界的体验、对上帝的概念以及在痛苦的世界中上帝的称义问题之间所察觉的差异。这项研究使用了三位重要的新教和罗马天主教神学家的文本：Dietrich Bonhoeffer，Jürgen Moltmann和Johann Baptist Metz，解释、比较和评估他们的神学账户，鉴于他们对神学问题的理解，以及这种理解是以他们的Theologia Crucis和精神的作用为基础的方式。然后，该项目探索了他们对苦难和邪恶的概念与他们对三位一体上帝救赎交叉事件的理解之间的关系。然而，奥斯威辛集中营之后的神学也必须将犹太人关于神学的声音整合到对话中。它还结合了宗教哲学领域关于神学的最新讨论，特别关注邪恶的问题，在马勒姆？下，以及最近的三位一体主题。这一方法使本研究能够与其他受试者建立联系。在询问这些作者时，该项目询问，描述统一的三位一体上帝的苦难的交叉中心神学需要什么三位一体的主题。其中一个目的是表明，只有从受苦的神的救赎的角度来提出诗篇22中的问题，才有可能在受苦面前抱有希望。归根结底，该项目的相关性超越了神学领域，甚至超越了人文学科的更广泛学科；它不仅询问在奥斯威辛集中营之后从事神学工作意味着什么，更重要的是，它询问在奥斯威辛集中营之后以伦理方式生活意味着什么。用狄特里希·邦霍费尔的话说，奥斯威辛集中营之后，在一起的生活会是什么样子？这项研究项目--神学和生理学--考察了上帝的无所不能和爱带来的明显矛盾，以及世界上邪恶和痛苦的现实，并试图通过救赎的镜头来解释它。在这样做的过程中，该项目考虑了神学的三难境地，它源于对世界的体验、对上帝的概念以及在痛苦的世界中上帝的称义问题之间所察觉的差异。这项研究使用了三位重要的新教和罗马天主教神学家的文本：Dietrich Bonhoeffer，Jürgen Moltmann和Johann Baptist Metz，解释、比较和评估他们的神学账户，鉴于他们对神学问题的理解，以及这种理解是以他们的Theologia Crucis和精神的作用为基础的方式。然后，该项目探索了他们对苦难和邪恶的概念与他们对三位一体上帝救赎交叉事件的理解之间的关系。然而，奥斯威辛集中营之后的神学也必须将犹太人关于神学的声音整合到对话中。它还结合了宗教哲学领域关于神学的最新讨论，特别关注邪恶的问题，在马勒姆？下，以及最近的三位一体主题。这一方法使本研究能够与其他受试者建立联系。在询问这些作者时，该项目询问，描述统一的三位一体上帝的苦难的交叉中心神学需要什么三位一体的主题。其中一个目的是表明，只有从受苦的神的救赎的角度来提出诗篇22中的问题，才有可能在受苦面前抱有希望。归根结底，该项目的相关性超越了神学领域，甚至超越了人文学科的更广泛学科；它不仅询问在奥斯威辛集中营之后从事神学工作意味着什么，更重要的是，它询问在奥斯威辛集中营之后以伦理方式生活意味着什么。用Dietrich Bonhoeffer的话说，奥斯威辛集中营之后，在一起的生活会是什么样子？
