Abstract
Permit me to begin with a reference to my theological biography. Slowly, much too slowly, it became clear to me (and admitting how protracted this tardiness was in this matter only sharpened the irritation) that the situation in which I am a theologian, that is, one who tries to speak about God, is a situation Auschwitz. For me Auschwitz signaled a horror that transcends all familiar theologies, a horror that makes every noncontextual talk about God appear empty and blind. Is there then, so I asked myself, a God whom one can worship with back turned to such a catastrophe? And can a theology worthy of this name simply continue on talking untouched after such a catastrophe, as if the presumed innocence of our human words would not have to be scrutinized?
