Pannenberg, the Positioning of Academic Theology and Philosophy of Science

This book offers a bright and learned contribution on the famous German Theologian Wolfhart Pannenberg. Centering on his work »Wissenschaftstheorie und Theologie« (1973) it deals with his passion for an academically sound and respected theology, its radiation in an interdisciplinary university context in general and in the science-and-theology-dialogue in particular. Dr. Gülden Le Maire illuminates the role and function of theology in the German and Anglo-American educational-political landscape in the last decades of the 20st century. But she also offers a vision for the future of a healthy and fruitful academic theology in the German Academy and beyond.
