Summary:

These essays by leading British and North American theologians are a tribute to Eberhard Jungel, one of the twentieth century's foremost Christian thinkers, and an interpretation and evaluation of his work. The contributors' own creative work has been influenced by their engagement with Jungel's thought and their essays expound the ways in which his work can be a resource for constructive contemporary theology, as well as examining the areas in which he provokes debate, counter-proposal and disagreement.

The contributors are: Colin Gunton, David F. Ford, G, O. Mazur, Werner Jeanrond, Geoffrey Wainwright, John Thompson, George Newlands, Arnold Neufeldt-Fast and John Webster. Together they provide a fascinating exposition of Jungel's work and a demonstration of his increasing influence in Britain and North America.
