Entzogenheit als Evangelium. Theo-logische, schöpfungstheologische, christologische und anthropologische Bemerkungen zur Verborgenheit Gottes

Abstract

Traditionally, God's is understood as a threat to human life. Accordingly, it is associated with bad news. If God's is connected to good news, to gospel, this is most often only referred to the form of the gospel, meaning that the Son oi God became a Jewish son of a carpenter in ancient Palestine in the form of precise hiddenness (Jungel). The thesis of this paper is that God's also appears in at least three dimensions of the content of gospel, which will be called withdrawal. God's divinity as such, the relationship between creature and creation and persons (divine and human) are marked by withdrawals The complex relationship between the different kinds of and withdrawal is explored, with special emphasis on withdrawal as gospel, beginning with observations on the immanent Trinity and moving to the economic Trinity and back to the immanent, and by reference to the work of Luther, Schelling, Sholem, Jungel, Zizioulas and Marion.
