The God of Jesus Christ New Edition

The God-question is the fundamental theological question. This is a plea to give it that status once again. True enough, there is no lack of publications on the subject; for the most part however these limit themselves to a discussion of modern atheism. The Christian understanding of God, the God of Jesus Christ, and thus the confession of the triune God are usually brought in only as a kind of appendix and without any closer study of the problems involved. To bring this to life however Kasper has gone back to the Early Church fathers and the other great doctors of the Church. What he has learned from them is not a spiritless traditionalism but a courage, hardly imaginable these days, in thinking things out for himself. This book remains therefore, as it always has been, an essential resource for students of theology and of the Trinitarian principle in particular.
