Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Thanks to Niels Gregersen as editor and Linda Maloney as translator, The Historicity of Nature brings to the English-speaking world a collection of some of Wolfhart Pannenberg's finest essays on the cutting edge of the dialogue between theology and science, many of which were previously available only in German. I enthusiastically recommend this work to all scholars seriously engaged in this dialogue." -- Robert John Russell

Reseña del editor:

Known as one of the most outstanding theologians of the twentieth century, Wolfhart Pannenberg is also considered a great interdisciplinary thinker. Now, essays and articles on science and theology that are central to understanding Pannenberg's theories have been collected into one volume.

Niels Henrik Gregersen, a former student of Pannenberg and now professor of systematic theology at Copenhagen University, has compiled the writings in four sections: Methodology, Creation and Nature's Historicity, Religion and Anthropology, and Meaning and Metaphysics. Included in this volume are:

• Translations of Pannenberg's principled argument for the consonance between science and religion, including contingency and laws of nature, field theories and space-time, and divine action
• Translations of Pannenberg's theory of theology as a rational hypothetical science, including his discussions with leading British and American scholars such as A. N. Whitehead, John Cobb, and Langdon Gilkey
• Previously unpublished articles on the problems between science and theology in the course of modern history, explaining why chance may be more important for theology than design
• Translations of seminal articles that articulate Pannenberg's understanding of the role of religion in human nature
• One of the few theological articles on aggression as a psychological and social phenomenon

With this collection, the essays of this important contemporary theologian and his illuminating views are presented in one convenient volume.
