The Historicization of God’s Being

The Karl Barth Blog Conference is now well underway and my own contribution has just been posted today, dealing with the issue of Jüngel’s theological ontology and the whole thorny issue of the historicality of God’s being.  I argue in this post that, according to Jüngel, God’s very being is constituted through the history of Jesus’ death and resurrection and only if we affirm God as thus constituted by the historical man, Jesus can we rightly affirm the transcendence and freedom of the eternal God.
