Wolfhart Pannenberg: Historical Theology مقاله

خلاصه ماشینی:

In the phrase previously quoted, Panneberg still strives, through the examination of the relationship between man's reality and that which lies beyond the existing world, )nevig( to achieve a deeper understanding of the idea of God. He does not take any of the common and conventional concepts of God for granted. It seems that both in terms of the history of religion and in terms of the internal direction of the concept of [God], there are valid reasons that allow us to interpret and explain the idea of God in terms of the inherent relationship of our own humanity with what lies beyond the immediate actuality of the world. And the second error allowed him to view world history as an autonomous process {P(*) refers to a theory in theology based on which God, through the incarnation and crucifixion of Jesus Christ and the sacrifice of His Son, opened the way for reconciliation with sinful and rejected humanity and transformed the relationship based on command, law, and punishment into a relationship based on love, mercy, and grace—an act that was in no way made by man himself and whose execution by God also required sacrifice and self-giving. The meaning of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, as the revelation of God's ultimate self, is inseparably tied to this traditional-historical understanding of the specifically Jewish interpretation of history as divine history. Pannenberg has put forward the view that we must understand the relationship of the world to God in terms of its future and not its present.
