The Collected Works of Eberhard Jüngel: Special 80th Birthday Edition
Synopsis
Eberhard Jüngel is one of the world's most creative thinkers. This collection of six volumes presents his significant contribution to theology.
In Christ, Justice and Peace Jüngel examines the relationship between theology and politics, between the church and state in the form of a critical theological analysis of the Barmen Theological Declaration.
God as the Mystery of the World is understood as Jüngel's masterpiece, a seminal contribution to the discussion of God's being, and the identification of God and the crucified Jesus as one.
Justification is one of the most significant Jüngel's works - precipitated by the Lutheran-Roman Catholic Joint Declaration on the doctrine of justification, it represents Jüngel's most sustained theological writing about the role of justification in Christian faith.
In God's Being is in Becoming Jüngel analyses the close relation of Trinity and revelation in Karl Barth, as he looks at Barth's action of divine objectivity in relation to human subjectivity.
The two volumes of essays, Theological Essays I and Theological Essays II, comprise some of Jüngel's best critical and constructive writing. These essays have been carefully chosen to illustrate the wide range of Jüngel's concerns - the ontological implications of the doctrine of justification, the nature of metaphorical and anthropomorphic language, theological anthropology, Christology and ecclesiology, and natural theology.
