Basic Questions in Theology, Volume 1

In this classic, two-volume set of collected essays, Wolfhart Pannenberg gives special focus to the ways in which history, hermeneutics, reason and truth all guide and inform our various attempts at understanding God. This focus, then, offers the reader a unique insight into the revelation of God. Pannenberg writes, "To say that the revelation of God is not a supernatural event which breaks into history perpendicularly from above but rather that it is the theme of history itself, the power that moves it in its deepest dimension, is to say something about God and his relation to the world."Wolfhart Pannenberg is Professor Emeritus of Theology at the University of Munich and author of several influential books, including Jesus-God and Man, Revelation as History, Theology and the Philosophy of Science, and Anthropology in Theological Perspective.
