Wolfhart Pannenberg is intended as an introduction for those who do not already know Pannenberg's theology and to discuss some of the problems which it presents for those who do.
Pannenberg's theology of history has already been widely discussed. This is the first work to treat his theology as a whole-his doctrine of man, of history, of God and the Trinity, of Christology and resurrection, of Church and eschatology-showing how it all hangs together. It presents Pannenberg's work sympathetically but not uncritically. Criticism which others have made are discussed and some new ones offered. The exposition is creative, offering fresh interpretations and, occasionally, venturing to suggest possible improvements in Pannenberg's presentation of his argument. It is thus an original contribution as well as an interpretation.
This book is directed to that growing section of the public which likes to keep in touch with what is happening in the forefront of theology and to know where the growth points are. Theological students will find it a useful aid to their own reading of Pannenberg.
