Faith and Reality

Plot

"Here Pannenberg applies his theological position to a wide range of subjects with precision and creativity and in nontechnical language. His theme is the connection between God and our understanding of reality. Pannenberg shows how the biblical understanding of reality was influenced by Israel's experience of God. He then deals with problems in understanding the modern world raised by the natural sciences; and in his chapter, "Man--The Image of God," he considers human destiny and human history. The author provides answers to the questions "How Is God Revealed to Us?" and how "Jesus' History and Ours" are related. And in his concluding three chapters he offers a political interpretation of the church's mission in history and culture."
