Abstract
The aim of this paper is to question the plausibility of a generic discourse regarding evil, focusing on the need to prepare an appropriate theological grammar for the purpose. The field of research which has been taken into consideration here is the recent theological production of a hermeneutic nature in the protestant area, more specifically: Karl Barth, Ernst Fuchs and Eberhard Jüngel. Reference to these authors will prove that a systematic reflection about the use of modal categories (reality/possibility) and of enunciation assertions (affirmation/denial) is essential in order not to fail grasping an actual phenomenology of evil.
Keywords
