Our understanding of the love of God has been tragically distorted. The comfortable, sentimentalized version we commonly encounter today is far from the biblical depiction of God’s love. Featuring contributions from well-known evangelical scholars, this multi-disciplinary study presents the biblical view of the love of God from the perspectives of systematic theology, biblical theology, apologetics, pastoral theology, and ethics. The contributors—including D. A. Carson, Andreas J. Köstenberger, Raymond C. Ortlund Jr., Robert L. Plummer, and many others—address a variety of issues related to how God’s love is expressed in the Old and New Testaments, the Trinity, apologetics, Christian living, social justice, and more. This addition to the Theology in Community series will promote clear, sound thinking about what Scripture means when it declares that “God is love.”

Die Behauptung der Unerkennbarkeit Gottes hat eine lange Tradition, die vom biblischen Bilderverbot über die negative Theologie und Mystik bis zur spätmodernen Dekonstruktion reicht. Zu dieser Tradition gehört die zeitlose Frage, wie Gott zu denken ist, wenn er nicht als ein buchstäblich existierendes Wesen im Sinne des Theismus verstanden werden kann. Diesem Problem nähern sich die Texte des Bandes mit zahlreichen historischen wie systematischen Schwerpunkten. Es geht um das Verhältnis der Transzendenzdimensionen zu den Grenzen der menschlichen Erkenntnis, damit verbunden um die sprachliche Präzisierung der Grenzproblematik, wie sie sowohl in der Tradition der negativen Theologie wie auch in zentralen Ansätzen der modernen Philosophie angezielt wird. Weitere Schwerpunkte bilden das Verhältnis von Rationalität und Theologie sowie die theologischen Aspekte der Dekonstruktion. Die Ansätze der Beiträge verfolgen stets die Frage nach dem Status der Rede von Gott im Horizont der Erkenntnisgrenzen. Sie zeigen so, dass und wie diese Frage mit dem Welt und Selbstverständnis des Menschen im Angesicht der Unbegreiflichkeit seiner Situation verbunden ist und bleibt.

The claim that God is timeless has been the majority view throughout church history. However, it is not obvious that divine timelessness is compatible with fundamental Christian doctrines such as creation and incarnation. Theologians have long been aware of the conflict between divine timelessness and Christian doctrine, and various solutions to these conflicts have been developed. In contemporary thought, it is widely agreed that new theories on the nature of time can further help solve these conflicts. Do these solutions actually solve the conflict? Can the Christian God be timeless? The End of the Timeless God sets forth a thorough investigation into the Christian understanding of God and the God-world relationship. It argues that the Christian God cannot be timeless.

This volume provides an analysis of divine aseity in Karl Barth's thought and appreciates the vital role that this doctrine can play in contemporary theology. Brian D. Asbill begins by setting the general theological context, first through a broad sketch of the development of Barth's understanding of the relationship between the life of God pro nobis (pronobeity) and a se (aseity), and secondly through the examination of the basic theological convictions that guide his approach to the divine being in Church Dogmatics II/1. The second section, 'The Love and Freedom of God', turns to the dialectical pairings which guide Barth's accounts of the divine reality in his earliest dogmatic cycle (The Göttingen Dogmatics §§16-7) as well as in his most mature treatment (Church Dogmatics §§28-31). Particular attention is given to how these themes arise from revelation and relate to one another. In the final section, 'The Aseity of God', Asbill identifies this doctrine's basic features and primary functions. Divine aseity is characterized as the self-demonstration and self-movement of God's life, a trinitarian and entirely unique reality, a primarily positive and dynamic concept, and the manner and readiness of God's love for creatures. Divine aseity is said to indicate God's lordship in the act of self-binding, God's uniqueness in the act of self-revelation, and God's sufficiency in the act of self-giving.

Im Kontext der Krise des traditionellen Theismus werden in diesem Band unausgeschöpfte Ressourcen, bleibende Potenziale oder kritische Einsprüche aus den drei monotheistischen Religionen versammelt. Die postsäkulare und posttraditionale Gesellschaft ist durch eine Krise der Vorstellung des persönlichen Gottes und durch ein Schwinden der Rede von Gott gekennzeichnet. Trends zu abstrakten Transzendenzvorstellungen, zu einer unentschiedenen und bindungsschwachen Konfessionslosigkeit; zur Pluralisierung des religiösen Feldes durch Medien und Migration; zu einem soziologisch kleinen, aber öffentlich aggressiven Atheismus sowie zur globalen Kompilation und individuellen Komposition von Religiositäten prägen die Szene. Diese Rahmenbedingungen fordern die monotheistischen Traditionen heraus, ihr Gottesbekenntnis in neuer Weise zu plausibilisieren und neue Anschlussfähigkeiten auszuloten.

In his first book published as Pope, and in conjunction with the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy, Pope Francis here invites all humanity to an intimate and personal dialogue on the subject closest to his heart -- mercy -- which has long been the cornerstone of his faith and is now the central teaching of his papacy. In this conversation with Vatican reporter Andrea Tornielli, Francis explains -- through memories from his youth and moving anecdotes from his experiences as a pastor -- why "mercy is the first attribute of God." God "does not want anyone to be lost. His mercy is infinitely greater than our sins," he writes. As well, the Church cannot close the door on anyone, Francis asserts. On the contrary, its duty is to go out into the world to find its way into the consciousness of people so that they can assume responsibility for, and move away from, the bad things they have done.
