Eberhard Jungel and Existence

Description:

"This book interrogates the contemporary Lutheran theologian Eberhard Ju ngel's theological anthropology, arguing that Ju ngel's thought can provide a model for theological engagement with philosophical accounts of existence. Focusing on Ju ngel's theology of existence, the author explores the thought of philosophers, including Heidegger and Hegel, their influence on and application to his theology, and argues that Ju ngel's account of humanity should be seen as a response to atheistic existentialist accounts of existence. In showing how Ju ngel's theology is informed by and dependent on philosophical thought, this book provides a new lens on the interplay between philosophy, theology, and religion in twentieth-century German thought. It will be of particular interest to researchers in philosophy, theology, and philosophy of religion"--
