About the Book

This book seeks to demonstrate that the suffering of God has an «ontological status» in Luther's Theologia Crucis. The discussion concentrates on three constituents of Luther's theology - Christology, soteriology, and Trinity - to see how each of them establishes the assertion that God suffers. Does God suffer within himself or does God suffer only in the humanity of Jesus Christ or does only the God-Man Jesus Christ suffer? Dennis Ngien places Luther within the context of the medieval Church, the early Church's discussion of the suffering of God and the modern discussions of the essential Apathy. Luther accepts the Old Church's Theopaschitism, but he rejects Patripassianism, a heresy of the Old Church. This study breaks new ground by taking Luther a step further, arguing that only a trinitarian theology of the cross is genuine Christian theology, and that the suffering of Christ touches the immanent Trinity as well as the economic Trinity. Ngien also engages in useful discussions with other scholars including Paul Althaus, Walter von Loewenich, Ian Siggins, Marc Lienhard, Eberhard Jüngel, Jürgen Moltmann, and Alister McGrath.

About the Author :
The Author: Dennis Ngien received his Ph.D. in Systematic Theology from the University of St. Michael's College through the Toronto School of Theology, a consortium in the University of Toronto. He is a worldwide preacher and lecturer and his speaking engagements take him to continents as far as the Soviet Commonwealth, Eastern Europe, Asia and Africa. Dr. Ngien's present research interests include the Hermeneutic of Suffering in World Religions and Luther's eschatology.

Review :
«Dr. Ngien has done a good job of sorting out Luther's numerous statements about the suffering of God and finding consistency in them. He engages in a useful discussion with other Lutheran commentators. He presents a concise and competent survey of the early church's discussion of the suffering of God and also attends to Luther's reception of and reaction to late medieval thought.» (David E. Demson, University of Toronto) «This is an excellent study of Luther's theology of the Cross, and it is more than only that. While the relevant studies of the Luther scholars Paul Althaus and Walter von Loewenich restrict themselves to Luther, Ngien sets Luther's theology of the Cross within a larger context: In Chapter three he develops Luther's Christology as the presupposition for his theology of the Cross; and in Chapter four, Luther's soteriology as its consequence. In Chapter five he develops the corresponding teaching of the Trinity in Luther's concept of God. So clearly arranged has Luther's theology of the Cross seldom up to now been presented. The author then goes beyond Luther himself, to place him within the context of medieval-Church and also modern discussions of the essential Apathy or the Passion of God and thereby bring Luther's voice within our hearing. This study deserves to be published; it will fructify the theological discussion.» (Dr. Jürgen Moltmann, University of Tubingen) «Ngien presents an excellent study of Luther's theology; his presentation of the role of suffering in the Christian life as a context for discipleship rather than as a condition of salvation is especially applicable for further study in social ethics.» (Beth Gerhardt, Lutheran Quarterly)
