Description
By critically engaging Eberhard Jüngel's doctrine of the
Trinity, this volume makes a broader, constructive contribution to contemporary
trinitarian thought.The argument
centers on the question - posed by the inconsistencies uncovered in Jüngel's
doctrine of God - of how one can assert both divine freedom and the
inter-subjectivity of God's trinitarian self-determination. Can one maintain God's freedom in the
interest of divine spontaneity and creativity, while remaining committed to inter-subjective
vulnerability which the Cross entails as an event of divine love?
Malysz suggests that a resolution to this problem lies in
a logic of divine freedom, which, next to the trinitarian logic of love,
constitutes a different and simultaneous mode of trinitarian
relationality. To develop this logic,
Malysz draws on Jüngel's understanding of human freedom as rooted in the
"elemental interruption" of the self-securing subject. Malysz thus not only brings Jüngel's view of
divine freedom into correspondence with the anthropological effects that Jüngel
ascribes to it, but, above all, offers an imaginative, new way of closely
integrating the doctrine of God and theological anthropology.
