A guide for comprehending Pannenberg's Systematic Theology in the context of his most relevant writings. At the beginning of the sixties, Pannenberg marks off his theology from the hermeneutic of the Bultmannian-School and the religious-critical idea of manifestation from Karl Barth. The rediscovery of the universal history as the broadest media of God epiphany should help overcome of the anti-historic subjectivism of faith.
Gunter Wenz displays the main pillar of Pannenberg s theology: The self-manifestation of God, trinitarian God, creation of the world, christology, anthropology, pneumatology, eschatology and ecclesiology.
Gunther Wenz ist em. Professor für Systematische Theologie an der Evangelisch-Theologischen Fakultät der LMU und Leiter der Wolfhart-Pannenberg Forschungsstelle an der Hochschule für Philosophie in München.
