Theological Essays II

by Eberhard Jüngel

These essays treat major topics in Christian dogmatics and philosophical theology. They include an overall survey of Jungel's own theology; interpretative studies of Kierkegaard and the work of Heinrich Vogel; dogmatic studies of the historical Jesus, the hiddenness of God, the sacrifice of Christ, justification and ethics, aesthetics and theological anthropology.
Throughout, the work is characterised by Jungel's acute analysis of texts and themes in theology and philosophy, and by lively engagement with the intellectual heritage of modernity.

[Alex Blount · Rating 5 out of 5]

Jüngel always challenges categories in insightful ways. The breadth of topics he covers here provide a good intro into how he thinks. The article on divine hiddenness is especially good.
