Reviews

Wolfhart Pannenberg’s interdisciplinary approach to systematic theology, especially concerning the relation between philosophy and theology, has much to teach practitioners today. The essays in this volume provide not just a helpful overview of the main contours of Pannenberg’s expansive thought, but they probe, appropriate, and, at times, move beyond Pannenberg to show the enduring relevance of his work. Charitably critical and complementarily constructive, these essays fertilize the ground Pannenberg sowed in the hopes
of bearing more theological fruit in the future.James M. Arcadi, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School

Wolfhart Pannenberg was one of the most prolific and influential Protestant theologians of the twentieth century, rivaled only by his teacher Karl Barth. The authors of this volume help American readers understand Pannenberg's thought in its historical and social context and demonstrate its lasting significance for the global church today. This erudite collection of essays is a fitting tribute to a towering figure. Highly recommended.

Hollingsworth is to be congratulated for bringing together such an able variety of contributors to explore different aspects of the rich but complex theology of Wolfhart Pannenberg. Pannenberg is one of the most important theologians who has written over the last thirty years and his work deserves attention especially among English-speaking readers. His emphasis on futurity, resurrection, and theological method, have many theological and pastoral implications, which these essays bring out well. I commend this book warmly.

United by a desire to see Pannenberg’s legacy continue, the authors of this volume are not afraid to critically engage this theological giant and to genuinely wrestle with the topics. Time and time again I found myself in agreement that themes of Pannenberg’s work – eschatology, theological method, theology & science, comparative religion, the public nature of theology – are key issues not only of our time, but for any theology of the future. Well worth reading!
Joanna Leidenhag, University of Leeds
