English summary: The pericope narrating the testing of Abraham (Genesis 22:1-19) is considered one of the most famous narratives from the Old Testament. It has been given a lively reception in theology, literature and the arts. It therefore contributes significantly to the image of God in the Old Testament. But what is this image of God? Does the reader encounter a cruel and dark God who demands nothing but obedience? Is Genesis 22 proof of the fatality of Christian faith? Or is this God even a different God to the Christian one? In this study, Heinz-Dieter Neef aims to clarify the image of God in Genesis 22 by reading the pericope both separately and in the context of the Abraham narrative in Genesis 12-25. These are the two cornerstones of its correct interpretation. German description: Die Perikope von der Prufung Abrahams in Gen 22,1-19 zahlt zu den bekanntesten Erzahlungen des Alten Testaments. Sie erfahrt in der Theologie, in der Literatur und in der Kunst eine lebhafte Rezeption. Auf diese Weise tragt sie wesentlich zum Verstandnis des alttestamentlichen Gottes bei. Wie aber sieht dieses Gottesbild aus? Begegnet dem Leser hier der grausame und dunkle Gott, der nichts als Gehorsam fordert? Ist Gen 22 ein Beleg fur den verhangnisvollen Glauben der Christen? Ist dieser Gott gar ein anderer Gott als der des christlichen Glaubens? In der vorliegenden Studie versucht Heinz-Dieter Neef, das Gottesbild von Gen 22 zu erheben, indem er die Perikope aus sich selbst heraus sowie im Kontext der Abrahamuberlieferung in Gen 12-25 versteht. Dies sind die beiden Eckpfeiler des rechten Verstandnisses der Erzahlung.
