This volume presents an entirely new translation of Eberhard Jngel's Gottes Sein ist im Werden, published twentyfive years ago as The Doctrine of the Trinity, a brilliant interpretation of Karl Barth's exposition of God's being. This work by Jngel is central to fully appreciating Barth's thought, and it remains of enduring significance for constructive trinitarian theology.Building on a paraphrase of Barth's discussion of the Trinity in Church Dogmatics, Jngel first explores God's being as 'selfrevelation'for Barth the only possible starting point for talk about God. Jngel goes on to look at God's beingasobject, illuminated by Barth's understanding of divine objectivity in relation to human subjectivity. The book concludes with a discussion of the ontological implications of God's selfmanifestation at the cross.Along with his superb translation of Jngel's work, John Webster provides a substantial new introduction, and he has also incorporated additional material from the 1975 German edition not previously available in English.
