The Idea of God and Human Freedom

"Christianity and Myth" starts off this particularly valuable collection of essays by Wolfhart Pannenberg, world-renowned theologian. It was written for a working group studying the question of poetry and hermeneutics and, as the only theologian in the group, Professor Pannenberg provided a substantial exegetical foundation for the discussion. Five other studies continue the author's efforts to identify an anthropological basis for discussion of the question of God. These are: * Anthropology and the Question of God; * Speaking About God in the Face of Atheist Criticism; * Christian Theology and Philosophical Criticism; * The Significance of Christianity in the Philosophy of Hegel; * Christianity as the Legitimacy of the Modern Age. A final essay deals with "Eschatology and the Experience of Meaning."
