By critically engaging Eberhard J ngel’s doctrine of the Trinity, this volume makes a broader, constructive contribution to contemporary trinitarian thought.The argument centers on the question – posed by the inconsistencies uncovered in J ngel’s doctrine of God – of how one can assert both divine freedom and the inter-subjectivity of God’s trinitarian self-determination. Can one maintain God’s freedom in the interest of divine spontaneity and creativity, while remaining committed to inter-subjective vulnerability which the Cross entails as an event of divine love?Malysz suggests that a resolution to this problem lies in a logic of divine freedom, which, next to the trinitarian logic of love, constitutes a different and simultaneous mode of trinitarian relationality. To develop this logic, Malysz draws on J ngel’s understanding of human freedom as rooted in the "elemental interruption" of the self-securing subject. Malysz thus not only brings J ngel’s view of divine freedom into correspondence with the anthropological effects that J ngel ascribes to it, but, above all, offers an imaginative, new way of closely integrating the doctrine of God and theological anthropology.
