Pannenberg's Systematic Theology: Chapter Analysis

383 Words2 Pages
In terms of the overall structure of Pannenberg’s Systematic Theology, the transition from Chapter 4 on Revelation to the topic of the Trinitarian God in Chapter 5 also represents a change in methodology. Pannenberg has so far offered a cumulative case for divine reality by testing various hypotheses to the fact, demonstrating thereby the anthropological and theological importance of religion. He explains the topic of the Trinitarian God in Chapter 5, however, with primary attention to the explanation of God’s self-revelation in Jesus Christ.

Chapter 3 The Itinerarium Mentis in Deum Before proceeding to the main concern of this chapter which is the discussion of St. Bonaventure’s Itinerarium Mentis in Deum, the researcher first dwelled with Bonaventurean anthropology. Moreover, the anthropological thought of the Seraphic Doctor does not only pertain to man and its nature alone but it also speaks of its relation to God. In connection to that, one of the treatises made by the Seraphic Doctor regarding the relation of man to God is to be found in his treatise Itinerarium. In the prologue of this treatise, Bonaventure discussed the plan and the purpose of the Itinerarium which is basically to guide people in a mystical union.

Further, the valuation of materiality and connectedness seems to have implications for the doctrine of God. One of us wondered: “to what extent are we repeating the history of Trinitarian thought?” Another raised suspicion: “does this commit you to Whiteheadian doctrine of God becoming in the world?”

Populations Affected Increasing the access to healthy food in low-income, food desert communities is a healthy step toward reducing the rate of chronic disease in our community. Many of the public health challenges and rising health care costs are directly related to chronic diseases and conditions like cardiovascular disease, hypertension, cancer, diabetes, low birth weight, obesity and anemia.

The historical background provided as to what the phrase “Under God” means is essential to this debate as it is providing proper context. I have demonstrated thoroughly that the phrase was intended and still implies theism. Con wants to reject this context stating “that textual meanings are subjective and can therefore change over time.” This is unfortunately an incomplete contention.

In his posthumously published published work Father, Son and Holy Spirit: Toward a Fully Trinitarian Theology (2003), the focus is also primarily on Creation.2 The doctrine of creation based on a purposive Trinitarian ontology is therefore important in Gunton's theology. The section below expounds how, according to Gunton, the doctrine of creation has its ontological antecedence from the purposive Trinitarian creator God, who continues to relate with his human and non-human creation, and intends to bring them back to his original plan for them. In that project, Gunton argues, God graciously involves humans to participate. This section will then first look at the key influences on Gunton's doctrine of creation, and secondly at the overall shape of his doctrine, then thirdly at the main features of Gunton's doctrine of

The phenomenon of religious experience covers a broad spectrum of events, but is generally described as a supernatural, transcendental occurrence interpreted to be of a spiritual nature by the individual experiencing it. It is, however, difficult for a specific definition to be reached, as religious experiences manifest themselves in a variety of ways, whether through a widespread atmosphere of intense emotion such as the Toronto Blessing, or quiet personal revelations or visions, such as those of Bernadette Soubirous or the original visionaries of Medjugorje. The diversity of these events allows humanity to investigate what it means to be human from various standpoints and search for the reasons why such apparently inexplicable events occur.
