Reviews

'This pioneering venture by J. B. Webster into the thought of Eberhard Jüngel will certainly still be consulted when other books on this considerable theologian have been written … an admirably lucid account of the link between Jüngel's interest in the function of language, especially metaphor, and his theology of revelation through the Word of God.' Classical Review

' … brilliant achievement'. Journal of the American Academy of Religion
