Starting with an analysis of the close relation of Trinity and revelation in Barth, Jüngel goes on to look at Barth's action of divine objectivity in relation to human subjectivity. He closes with a discussion of the ontological implications of God's self-manifestation at the Cross.

This translation of Jüngel's Gottes Sein ist in Werden also incorporates material from the 1975 German edition, together with a substantial new introduction by Professor John Webster.

Eberhard Jüngel (1934-2021) was Professor of Systematic Theology and Philosophy of Religion at the University of Tübingen, Germany. He is often considered one of the most important theologians and philosophers of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
