who's the God of the gospel?

Robert W. Jenson's approach of answering this question, in response to Scott Swain, hinges at the nature of the connection among God in himself and the redemptive occasions by which God turns into our God.

Swain first locates Jenson's pursuit of a relentlessly "evangelical" knowing of God within the broader historical past of trinitarian theology after Karl Barth, earlier than conscientiously and sympathetically unpacking Jenson's doctrine of the Trinity. For Jenson, one in every of modern day such a lot famous theologians, the reply to the query, "Who is the God of the gospel?" can be summarized as, "The person who raised Jesus from the dead." Swain then bargains a confident assessment of Jenson's account of the at the same time constitutive personality of God's intrinsic id and saving acts.

Although severe of a lot of Jenson's trinitarian reinterpretations, Swain is still conscious of Jenson's matters and insights. within the strategy, Swain sheds new mild on what it skill for the ecumenical trinitarian culture to recommend a really evangelical doctrine of the Trinity within the wake of the twentieth-century recasting of the identification of the God of the gospel.
