This volume presents an entirely new translation of Eberhard Jüngel's Gottes Sein ist im Werden, published twenty-five years ago as The Doctrine of the Trinity, a brilliant interpretation of Karl Barth's exposition of God's being. This work by Jüngel is central to fully appreciating Barth's thought, and it remains of enduring significance for constructive trinitarian theology.
Building on a paraphrase of Barth's discussion of the Trinity in Church Dogmatics, Jüngel first explores God's being as "self-revelation"—for Barth the only possible starting point for talk about God. Jüngel goes on to look at God's being-as-object, illuminated by Barth's understanding of divine objectivity in relation to human subjectivity. The book concludes with a discussion of the ontological implications of God's self-manifestation at the cross.
Along with his superb translation of Jüngel's 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.
