Description
Summary:Wolf Krötke and Eberhard JUngel are among the most sophisticated theologians writing in Germany today. Both have recently retired, the former from Humboldt University in Berlin and the latter from the University ofTübingen. Their theology is marked by a common and rigorous yielding to God's self-disclosure in Jesus Christ. While their respective writings include extensive comment on and work in a variety of different doctrinal themes—most notably, the doctrine of God—and theologians—most notably, Karl Barth—each has demonstrated an abiding interest in the doctrine of the divine attributes. Their focus has been on describing, albeit with different emphases, what the doctrine of the divine attributes looks like when it begins with the God who comes low in Jesus Christ, rather than a God who more resembles some kind of supreme being.
