In recent years the theological writings of Wolfhart Pannenberg
have exerted considerable influence. However, Pannenberg's work has
also been criticized for not taking seriously the postmodern
challenge to traditional conceptions of rationality and truth. This
volume by F. LeRon Shults argues that the popular "foundationalist"
reading of Pannenberg is a misinterpretation of his methodology and
shows that, in fact, the structural dynamics of Pannenberg's
approach offer significant resources for the postfoundationalist
task of theology in our postmodern culture. Shults begins by laying
out the first comprehensive summary and interpretation of the
emerging postfoundationalist model of theological rationality. He
then revisits Pannenberg's theological method and finds the German
theologian to be a surprising ally in the quest to reconstruct a
theological rationality along postfoundationalist lines. In the
course of his discussion, Shults challenges views that see the
future, reason, or history as the central concept of Pannenberg's
thought and offers instead a new interpretation of Pannenberg's
basic theological principle as understanding and explaining all
things sub ratione Dei (under the aspect of the relation to God)-an
interpretation endorsed by Pannenberg himself in the book's
foreword. Shults also focuses on Pannenberg's unique way of linking
philosophical and systematic theology and demonstrates how the
underlying reciprocity of this method can carry over into the
postfoundational concern to link hermeneutics and epistemology in
the postmodern context.
