Eberhard Jüngel is Professor of Systematic Theology and Philosophy of Religion, University of Tübingen, Germany.R. David Nelson is Acquisitions Editor for Baker Academic & Brazos Press, USA.

Jüngel sets out in this work to establish a basis for a theology of God the crucified while avoiding the shoals of theism and atheism. He warns of the danger, rooted in the fact that modernity no longer dares to think about God, of talking God to death, of silencing God with too much God-talk. He analyses what our possibilities are of thinking and speaking God and concludes that theology has to become the narrative of God’s humanity, told like every love story. This is a stimulating but demanding book. It helps theology to move forward again in its quest really to say what it talks about when it talks about God.
