The work explores a theology centered on God as the crucified figure, navigating between the extremes of theism and atheism. Jungel critiques modernity's reluctance to engage with the divine, cautioning against excessive discourse that risks silencing God. He argues for a narrative approach to theology, likening it to a love story that expresses God's humanity. This thought-provoking text challenges readers to reconsider how they articulate their understanding of God, aiming to rejuvenate theological discourse.

"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."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
