From glory to glory: The communicative splendour of the God of the gospel according to some recent German theology (Karl Barth, Eberhard Juengel, Wolf Kroetke).
This thesis asks after the theological function of the doctrine of the divine attributes and of the divine glory in the theology of Karl Barth, Eberhard Jungel and Wolf Krotke. The doctrines together describe the multiplicity of attributes in God as short-hand ways of recounting who and what God is, as essential splendours which bespeak the singular extent to which the attributes agree with and are proper to the life of the triune God.; The project focuses, more specifically, on the divine attribute, that is, the divine glory---the ultimate horizon of attribution. For much of the classical Christian tradition, accounts of God's glory tend to be occasions for aphophases. Barth, Jungel and Krotke, however, each uniquely present an account of God's glory in their doctrine of the divine attributes as that which is, first and foremost, articulated in the economy of salvation as a concrete reality which licenses and permits verbal participation in itself. The God who exists in glory and is glory discloses himself to be a communion of persons who live in mutuality and reciprocity, whose coming to the world is but the externalization of their holy fellowship ad extra.; The most basic feature of an account of God's glory is that it points to God as One who does not exist behind the history of Israel and Jesus in darkness or obscurity, but rather as One who unambiguously turns to the world. God's glory indicates the extent to which one has to do with God in God's dealings with humanity in the story of Israel and Jesus. Hence our thesis statement: The God of the Gospel is a communicative, clear, and luminous reality who discloses his glory in a multitude of perfections or clarities ingredient in the concretions specific to God's covenantal workings. God's glory is God's radiant turning to the creature, God's self-giving propensity disclosed in the self-movement of God to humanity in Jesus Christ.
