Barth and relational theology
pp. 83-104
Abstract
Chapter 5 is a study of Barth's relational theology in terms of a critical exegesis and renewal of Trinitarian election and analogia relationis. It concerns Eberhard Jüngel's divine ontology ("God's being in becoming") by critically examining his critique of Helmut Gollwitzer's social critical theology of "God Is" as transforming reality. This critical exegesis, drawing upon Barth's social category of "God Is" and analogia relationis, cuts through limitations of Jüngel's divine ontology underlying the subsequent project of the revisionist actualist ontology. A critical exegesis of Barth for social critical theology remains crucial in elaborating Barth as the exponent of relational theology for our development of comparative theology.
