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 hopesof bearing more theological fruit in the future.
