ISBN: 0521020719 ISBN-13: 9780521020718 Publisher: Cambridge University Press OUR PRICE: $41.79 Product Type: Paperback - Other Formats Published: October 2005 Annotation: This book examines the question of how God might relate to the realm of human history. It explores this question partly through a study of a particular New Testament text, the Book of Revelation, and partly through analysis of the work of two contemporary theologians, JU rgen Moltmann and Wolfhart Pannenberg. Michael Gilbertson, therefore, brings New Testament studies and historical theology into dialogue. Although Pannenberg and Moltmann have been heavily influenced by apocalyptic literature, this is the first detailed analysis of their theology of history in the light of Revelation. |
