.. one of Germany's leading modem theologians has produced a clear and thorough doctrine of God in The God of Jesus Christ. It will be an excellent book for students of theology who want a comprehensive survey of this central matter, for those who want an introduction to the range of traditional and modern positions without ever getting too far from practical and pastoral relevance and for those who simply ask: Is it possible to have a critical, rational and strong doctrine of the Trinity today?This is a fine, unoriginal statement that manages to show the richness, depth and adequacy of a main-stream orthodox position rethought in the context of contemporary debates.' (Expository Times)... the author speaks of learning from the fathers to have the courage to think things out for himself. The freshness and lucidity of his approach bear witness to his success.' (The Way)... an excellent account of the problematic character of faith in God at the present time' (New Blackfriars)'There are many illuminating aspects and a good awareness of both dogmatic and other issues, in particular of the centrality of the doctrine of the Trinity for our understanding of salvation.'(Theology)
