Text in German. How can God allow evil in the world? This question of theodicy (God's justification in the face of suffering and evil in the world) marks the intersection of theology and philosophy. To put it in terms of everyday life: How can God (if he exists) allow wars to wipe out entire ethnic groups, that thousands of people fall victim to natural disasters, so that evil is apparently more powerful than good?

This second edition has been supplemented to better prepare the author's proposal for overcoming the problem of theodicy.
