Abstract
This paper focuses on Hans Jonas' The Concept of God after Auschwitz. A Jewish Voice as an answer to theodicy and relates it to discourses on fictionality. The presentation and explanation of the myth is followed by a discussion of its underlying sources (e. g., Gnosticism, Kabbalah, Hegel) as well as Jonas' own reflections on the textual genre and the core statements of the myth. After a Christian-theological appraisal of Jonas' philosophy of religion, the myth is examined with reference to discourses of fictionality and attention is drawn to points of contact with Jewish, Christian and Gnostic narratives of world development and explanation.
