and because it is an experienced reality necessary for responsibility. Theology history and analysis Olson wrote a popular and widely acclaimed survey of Christian theology titled The Story of Christian Theology (1999). He is noted for a broad view of what constitutes Protestant "orthodoxy." For example, on annihilationism he commented that some evangelical theologians have "resurrected the old polemical labels of heresy and aberrational teaching" in order to marginalize other evangelicals holding the view The mosaic of Christian belief, (2002). Olson is one of the writers who sees two "loose coalitions" developing in evangelical theology. Olson coined the label "Pannenberg's Principle" for Wolfhart Pannenberg's argument (1969) that God's deity is his rule - "The divinity of God and the reign of God in the world are inseparable." He was the editor and author of the Handbook of Denominations in the United States, 14th edition (2018).
