English summary: How does the Asian bishop Irenaeus of Lyon respond to the Gnostic challenge? What is the role of Johannine theology in his answer, and how does he allude to and explain Johannine verses or words? In giving a theological and philological commentary on the third book of Adversus Haereses , the author attempts to find an answer to these questions. In the first Christian approach to a systematic theology, the church father of the second century deals with the questions of the unity of God, Christ, creation, incarnation and salvation. In all these topics, Irenaeus bases his theories substantially on the Corpus Johanneum and Johannine theology. It is his opinion that the Gospel according to John, the Apocalypse and the Epistles of John were all written by John of Ephesus, the disciple of the Lord, as he calls him. German description: Im dritten Band seines hauptsachlich gegen valentinianische Erkenntnis (Gnosis) und gegen Markion gerichteten Hauptwerkes - es ist zugleich die erste Dogmatik der Kirche - zeigt der sudgallische Bischof von Lyon um 185 n.Chr., wie mit Hilfe des Corpus Johanneum wesentliche theologische Herausforderungen der Gnosis biblisch-theologisch beantwortet werden konnen. Dies betrifft hermeneutische Fragen nach Schrift und Tradition ebenso wie die zentralen Fragen nach Gott und nach Jesus Christus. Thematisch wird dies anhand der Einheit Gottes, seinem Schopfersein, der Inkarnation und der Soteriologie aufgezeigt. Dabei ist Irenaus der erste Autor, der mit hoher Wortlautgenauigkeit und unter ausdrucklichem Hinweis auf die Quelle zitiert und so als erster eine biblisch-heilsgeschichtliche Theologie entwirft. Bernhard Mutschler untersucht Aufbau und Einheit des dritten Buches sowie die verschiedene Reihenfolge der Evangelien bei Irenaus. Er kommentiert alle bisher identifizierten sowie neu aufgefundenen Bezugnahmen auf das Evangelium nach Johannes, die Johannesbriefe und die Johannesapokalypse.
