“If thinking wants to think God, then it must endeavor to tell stories.”
Eberhard Jüngel“The God who is human in his divinity is the precise opposite of an essence which in ill-willed fashion closes itself to all human thought and knowledge... As love, rather, God is thinkable, without a distinction capable of made between essence and existence. Love is essentially existing lovingly.”
Eberhard Jüngel“Only those who look with the eyes of children can lose themselves in the object of their wonder. ”
Eberhard Arnold“We kill at every step, not only in wars, riots ad executions. We kill every time we close our eyes to poverty, suffering and shame.”
Eberhard Arnold, Salt and Light: Talks and Writings on the Sermon on the Mount“Even the sun directs our gaze away from itself and to the life illumined by it.”
Eberhard Arnold, Salt and Light: Talks and Writings on the Sermon on the Mount“We must have the love that exists among children, for with them love rules without any special purpose.”

Eberhard Jüngel, God as the Mystery of the World: On the Foundation of the Theology of the Crucified One in the Dispute Between Theism and Atheism“...godly power and godly love are related to one another neither through subordination nor dialectically. Rather, God's mightiness is understood as the power of his love. Only love is almighty. Then God's lordship is to be understood as the rule of his mercy and God's law is accordingly the law of his grace.”
