Eberhard J?gel is one of the most original and influential Protestant theologians in the generation after Karl Barth. His theology has received fresh interest of late from systematic theologians, biblical scholars and historians of modern Christian thought.

This volume offers an up-to-date introduction to J?gel's intellectual formation, publications and influence. R. David Nelson guides the reader through the figures, movements and conceptual developments in the background of J?gel's thought, introduces J?gel's major monographs and key essays, and assesses a number of themes prominent in J?gel's theology.
