Summary

In recent years the theological writings of Wolfhart Pannenberg have exerted considerable influence. However, Pannenberg's work has also been criticized for not taking seriously the postmodern challenge to traditional conceptions of rationality and truth. This volume by F. LeRon Shults argues that the popular "foundationalist" reading of Pannenberg is a misinterpretation of his method and shows that, in fact, Pannenberg's approach offers significant resources for the postfoundationalist task of theology in our postmodern culture.

Author Biography

F. LeRon Shults is associate professor of theology at Bethel Theological Seminary, St. Paul, Minnesota.
