Abstract
The Christian doctrine of the Trinity tells of God who has been fully incarnated in the person of Jesus Christ in the presence of the Holy Spirit. This doctrine affirms that God the Father (Abba) of Jesus Christ is the triune God as the one God sharing God’s self with the Son and the Spirit in divine life and fellowship. For the Trinity in the context of the Hebrew Bible, there is a comprehensive dialogue with Israel’s Elohim traditions.1

Jüngel’s explication of Barth’s Trinity is a contribution for resolving the dilemma between God in se (aseity) and God for us (God’s relationality with the world) in terms of Barth’s concept of analogia relationis. However, for Jüngel, God’s being is not identified with God’s becoming without reservation; rather God’s being is onto-logically located. Jüngel’s ontological localization of God’s being is not adequate to articulate the categorical meaning of the Old Testament in Barth’s Trinitarian thinking as well as Barth’s eschatological dimension of God’s coming.
