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.
