Infos

Eberhard Jungel (1934-2021) belongs to the most creative, wide-ranging, rigorous, and demanding voices in twentieth-century Protestant theology. Over a long and distinguished career, Jungel grappled with topics such as revelation, responsible talk about God, God's triunity, Christology, the nature of theological language, analogy, divine and human freedom, love, atheism, and theological approaches to the state. In all this, he had followed, perceptively yet critically, in the footsteps not only of Martin Luther, but also of G. W. F. Hegel, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Rudolf Bultmann, Martin Heidegger, and Karl Barth.Despite the diversity of their own backgrounds and interests, the contributors to The Freedom of Christian Theology: New Studies in Dialogue with Eberhard Jungel all share the conviction that Jungel's legacy lends itself to the same kind of constructive engagement that Jungel himself practiced. The essays offered here bring Jungel's many-sided contributions to bear on the theological, philosophical, and social challenges of today. Each is an attempt to grapple, in the spirit of Eberhard Jungel, with the mysteries of today's world, which no less demand analytical care and penetrating insight. As an ongoing conversation with Jungel, the essays model the freedom and joy of Christian theology to reflect on the world's complexities out of the riches of the Christian tradition.
