Basic Questions in Theology, Volume 1

by Wolfhart Pannenberg

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."
