Title: History as the locus of divine disclosure???
Review: Pannenberg is a deep thinker and this book will surely generate debate. However, if I bring things down to the basics, Pannenberg fails in developing any meaningful Systematic Theology of the Christian faith because he abandons the rule of faith: He abandons the revelation of Scripture.For Pannenberg, history is revelation. Man becomes the measure of God's actions, and not visa versa. He brings God low and understandable and elevates man to the ultimate point of focus, understanding, and judge of how the heavenly Host is relating to His world. This is absurd on many levels. He rejects the hallmarks of the Christian faith and builds again upon what? Upon the history of God's dealings with man, as man has perceived them (or as Pannenberg has perceived them) and therefore we can sit in judgment upon them/Him.Such a weak, ineffectual God (and theology) I want no part of. I fear his other volumes fair no better.JJ
