Title: An Authenticated Expansion of Pannenberg's Thought
Review: If you are like me, you wish you could get your hands on more stuff that Wolfhart Pannenberg wrote on just about anything. Shultz works through philosophical issues concerning modernist's foundationalism and postmodern thinking that Pannenberg did not spend much time commenting on explicitly. Shultz scours Pannenberg's work to show how he anticipated these kinds of questions and implies a practical middle way between them that Shultz calls "post-foundationalism." Best of all, rather than giving pure speculation, the author obtained an endorsement and consent from Pannenberg who writes a couple of pages at the beginning of the book to show his approval. The book is dense and not necessarily easy to follow for the beginner in Pannenberg, theology, or philosophy. Nevertheless, a careful reading of Shultz will prove insightful and practical for grasping today's "postfoundationalist task of theology."
