Recent English-language scholarship has largely passed over Eberhard Jüngel's characteristic
interest in the question of truth. In this work David Bruner makes a major contribution to the
reception of Jüngel's thought by offering the first monograph to critically engage his account
of truth and its vital connection to other doctrinal loci. Tracing Jüngel's understanding of
truth across several theological topoi the author argues that Jüngel's understanding of truth
can best be characterized as 'historical' or 'eschatological historicism.' It shows how an
understanding of truth as essentially historical or temporal is not incidental but essential to
his thought. It also ties him to larger debates regarding the appropriation of philosophical
historical consciousness within modern theology and alethiology.
