This study examines the theological thought of Eberhard Jüngel, focusing on his attempt to establish a new way of conceptualizing the thinkability of God in the modern era. Jüngel’s approach is not merely a repetition of dogmatic formulas but an ambitious attempt to institute a new fundamental orientation of thought that responds to the challenges posed to theology by modern atheism and nihilism. The starting point for Jüngel’s reflection is a critical confrontation with three pivotal figures of German philosophy: Johann Gottlieb Fichte, Ludwig Feuerbach, and Friedrich Nietzsche. By analyzing their statements regarding God, Jüngel seeks to define a space for Christian discourse about God that is both intellectually honest and faithful to biblical revelation. The work explores how Jüngel reshapes traditional metaphysical categories and attempts to define God's being as an event of love occurring within time and history. The goal is to demonstrate that the question of God remains legitimate and necessary for human thought even in the wake of the "death of God" in modern culture.

[Jüngel – pojetí Boha – 2]
Jüngelovi jde o základně nový způsob myšlení, který se má ustavit a rozvíjet právě ve vztahu k otázce myslitelnosti Boha. (Např. 169: „eine neue Grundeinstellung des Denkens zur Frage der Denkbarkeit Gottes“.) A proto chce začít u konfrontace „tří vět tří myslitelů“ (totiž Fichteho, Feuerbacha a Nietzsche).
