Indicative of Grace - Imperative of Freedom

This volume is a collection of essays in honour of T'bingen theologian Eberhard J'ngel, and is presented to him on the occasion of his 80th birthday. J'ngel is widely held to be one of the most important Christian theologians of the past half-century. The essays honour Professor J'ngel both by offering critical interlocutions with his theology and by presenting constructive proposals on themes in contemporary dogmatics that are prominent in his writings. While the list of contributors includes the names of several prominent scholars, each with many years of theological work in the academy, one of the noteworthy features of the proposed Festschrift is the involvement of younger scholars who have found J'ngel's writings to be a rich resource for fresh explorations in Christian theology. The proposed Festschrift introduces a new generation of theologians to Eberhard J'ngel and his theology. The volume also includes an exhaustive bibliography of J'ngel's writings and of secondary sources that deal extensively with his thought.
