Faithful to Save is an exposition and analysis of Pannenbergs doctrine of reconciliation as it appears in his three-volume Systematic Theology. It suggests that this doctrine is best approached by bearing in mind its three most salient characteristics, all of which are inter-dependent, and when kept in view make the essential tenets of Pannenbergs account transparent: God acts freely and immediately in and for creation; history is a function of the faithfulness of God to his creation; reconciliation is an expression of this faithfulness towards sinful creation Gods holding fast to creation despite its self-destructive self-assertion. On the basis of a detailed examination of the central texts, it argues that Pannenbergs doctrine of reconciliation at once marks out Gods action in the world as the true Infinite and issues an invitation to consider how such a God extends himself in reconciling love to his creatures so that their finite creatureliness is at every turn affirmed and found to be in the end good.

‘This study of the work of one of the foremost theologians of the 20th century breaks new ground. Unlike many other studies of Pannenberg's theology, which focus on philosophical, hermeneutical, methodological or inter-disciplinary themes, this book puts under the microscope his theology of reconciliation. There are surprises here: the emphasis on Pannenberg as a biblical thinker, the importance of the cross in his theology, above all the cantus firmus of the faithful¬ness of God. The role of the church in reconciliation, through prayer and proclamation, also receives welcome accentuation. The author offers us a subtle and perceptive reading of Pannenberg, which further consolidates his reputation as a theologian of the first rank and, in the process, clears up not a few misunderstandings. This book has provided me, a long-time reader of Pannenberg, with scores of new insights.' - Christiaan Mostert, United Faculty of Theology, Melbourne College of Divinity, Australia.
