Pannenberg on Evil, Love and God: The Realisation of Divine Love

by Mark Hocknull, Jeff Astley, James A Beckford, Richard Brummer, Vincent Brümmer

Overview

Pannenberg on Evil, Love and God examines a much-neglected aspect of the theological thought of one of the most original contemporary German theologians, Wolfhart Pannenberg: his theological and philosophical understanding of evil and its relationship to the love of God. The book seeks to correct a widely held misconception that in his theology, Pannenberg has neglected the darker side of the world, concentrating instead on an optimistic picture of the future.
