Eberhard J\u0026uuml;ngel (1934-2021) belongs to the most creative, wide-ranging, rigorous, and demanding voices in twentieth-century Protestant theology. Over a long and distinguished career, J\u0026uuml;ngel grappled with topics such as revelation, responsible talk about God, God\u0026#39;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.\u003cbr\u003eDespite the diversity of their own backgrounds and interests, the contributors to \u003ci\u003eThe Freedom of Christian Theology: New Studies in Dialogue with Eberhard J\u0026uuml;ngel\u003c/i\u003e all share the conviction that J\u0026uuml;ngel\u0026rsquo;s legacy lends itself to the same kind of constructive engagement that J\u0026uuml;ngel himself practiced. The essays offered here bring J\u0026uuml;ngel\u0026rsquo;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 J\u0026uuml;ngel, with the mysteries of today\u0026rsquo;s world, which no less demand analytical care and penetrating insight. As an ongoing conversation with J\u0026uuml;ngel, the essays model the freedom and joy of Christian theology to reflect on the world\u0026rsquo;s complexities out of the riches of the Christian tradition. |
