Description

Eberhard Jngel is widely recognised as one of the most important and original theologians of the twentieth-century. Although his essays comprise some of his best critical and constructive writing, few have been available in English. These eight essays have been carefully chosen to illustrate the wide range of Jngel's current concerns - the ontological implications of the doctrine of justification, the nature of metaphorical and anthropomorphic language, theological anthropology, Christology and ecclesiology, and natural theology.

Reviews

These essays combine theological wisdom with the perceptive biblical interpretation and philosophical richness. In many respects, the essay is the form in which Jngel is at his best. He faces key issues, summarizes positions, develops one or two pivotal insights, and demonstrates wonderful conceptual creativity. This is the mature thought of a major theologian at its most concentrated and accessible. * David F. Ford, University of Glasgow, UK *
This collection of basic essays by an eminent German theologian is a must for every theological library. * George Newlands, University of Glasgow, UK *
