God's Being Is in Becoming: The Trinitarian Being of God in the Theology of Karl Barth - A Paraphrase

God's Being Is in Becoming: The Trinitarian Being of God in the Theology of Karl Barth - A Paraphrase by Jungel, Eberhard. Hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780802842954.

This volume presents an entirely new translation of Eberhard Jüngels Gottes Sein ist im Werden, published twenty-five years ago as The Doctrine of the Trinity, a brilliant interpretation of Karl Barths exposition of Gods being. This work by Jüngel is central to fully appreciating Barths thought, and it remains of enduring significance for constructive trinitarian theology. Building on a paraphrase of Barths discussion of the Trinity in Church Dogmatics, Jüngel first explores Gods being as "self-revelation"—for Barth the only possible starting point for talk about God. Jüngel goes on to look at Gods being-as-object, illuminated by Barths understanding of divine objectivity in relation to human subjectivity. The book concludes with a discussion of the ontological implications of Gods self-manifestation at the cross. Along with his superb translation of Jüngels work, John Webster provides a substantial new introduction, and he has also incorporated additional material from the 1975 German edition not previously available in English.
