Basic Questions in Theology : Collected Essays

In this classic collection of essays, Wolfhart Pannenberggives special focus to the ways in which history, hermeneutics, reasonand truth all guide and inform our various attempts at understandingGod. This focus, then, offers the reader a unique insight into therevelation of God. Pannenberg writes, "To say that the revelation of Godis not a supernatural event which breaks into history perpendicularlyfrom above but rather that it is the theme of history itself, the powerthat moves it in its deepest dimension, is to say something about Godand his relation to the world."

Wolfhart Pannenberg was born in 1928 in Stettin, Germany. After studying in Berlin, Gottingen and Bale, he became Professor of Theology at the Univeristy of Munchen, Germany. He is the Director of the Institute of Dogmatic Theology and Ecumenism. His works include Trinity and Kingdom of God, The Destiny of Man, and Systematic Theology.
