The paper brings Jüngel's programmatic call for a theologia crucifixi - thinking God as love from the crucified one - into conversation with intersectional discourses and at the same time develops Jüngel's theologia crucifixi further. (1.) If the crucified one is the starting point of all theological endeavours, which is Jüngel's claim in 'God as the Mystery of the World', then 'God as love' must be reflected on within the context of (traumatic) injury and violence. (2.) If this crucified love becomes the starting point for an 'ethics of love', this opens up the potential to illuminate neighbourly love in the context of the brokenness of the world. It introduces structural factors of oppression and discrimination into the discourse. Here, for example, a neighbourly love, that takes shape in justice (cf. Niebuhr) and functions as a political resource can be considered. (3.) Drawing on the crucified as the embodiment of God's love, a theologia crucifixi truly fulfilled its function as a critical regulative of theology (cf. Jüngel) - more precisely: of white, heteronormative hermeneutics and representations of God and Christ. It will present a resonance for wounded and maltreated marginalised bodies - without 'soteriologising' them or 'generalising' the cross (cf. Ohlson Wallin and Marcella Althaus-Reid).
