From Eschatology to Trinity: Pannenberg's Doctrine of God

Abstract

This article comprises three parts. The first part establishes some important landmarks in Pannenberg's theology as it has developed over a number of decades. In the second part Pannenberg's identification of God with the future is noted, with particular reference to an early essay. The final part shows how this theme is taken up into the explicitly trinitarian theology which is the hallmark of Pannenberg's theological magnum opus.
