Wolfhart Pannenberg is one of the giants of twentieth century German systematic theology, and all serious students of Christian doctrine are obliged to take account of his work. In particular, his weighty but succinct single-volume systematics, ""Jesus - God and Man"" - which was first published in English in 1968, and which has since formed the basis of countless courses and seminars in the field (as well as the inspiration behind many dissertations) - is perhaps the single publication by Pannenberg that might be called indispensible and unmissable. For Pannenberg one can only talk about God when one at the same time talks about Jesus. Theology and Christology, the doctrine of God and the doctrine of Jesus as the Christ, are therefore bound together. This book develops the connection systematically, through a careful mode of biblical, dogmatic and philosophical exposition. Stanley J Grenz: 'A model of how doctrine should be done.' Theology: 'A masterpiece from one of the seminal minds of our era ... This monograph will, I predict, prove itself to be one of the finest books written in theology in our time.', SCM Press, 1968, 2.5, New York: Greenwood Press, 1969. Minor edge and corner wear; no dj; lightly scuffed and scratched; corners are gently bumped and rubbed; some light shelf wear; ex-library with the usual library markings; overall a nice used copy! Brown cloth with gilt lettering on the spine. 105 historical and informative pages! "My friend Mr. Beard asks me to put a few words of preface to his little book. I do not know that it needs any such introduction, and I remember what Mandeville has wisely and wittily said about prefaces, but I cannot refuse to do as he wishes, for I think that what he has written will be useful to the working people for whom he has written, and I am grateful to him for giving me the opportunity of saying, and desiring me to say here some things to them I have wished to say for some time. The classes that labour with their hands for weekly wages have now entrusted to them much of the power possessed by the Government of this country. The future of this country, and the parts of the world dependent on it must be largely settled by the use, wise or foolish, good or evil, they will be making of this power. Their own future depends on it. If they refuse to think, if they choose to listen to fools advice, if they do not take advantage of the opportunities they have for making themselves better, morally, physically, and intellectually, the world will pass them by speedily and inevitably. Goodwill is no excuse in face of facts; only good deeds will count. Knowledge and the will to use it, and the courage and perseverance required to use it rightly, these are the necessities of progress and of well-being of any kind. Ignorance that may be felt (but that may by honest effort be destroyed) is the cause of many more of our troubles than we like to admit. Science, not Creed, is the Deliverer, if we will only take the trouble to follow it. There will be plenty of mistakes on the way, but if a man means to learn by his former mistakes, he nearly always has the chance, and the advance, though slow, will be continuous. Democracy is no heaven-born institution........" . Reprint (1927). Brown Cloth. Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Ex-Library., Greenwood Press, 1969, 2.5<
