Description

This book treats Pannenberg's stated ambition to write 'a theology more thoroughly Trinitarian than any I know of'. It evaluates it by answering two questions: What does Pannenberg mean by his theology being thoroughly Trinitarian How far has his subsequent work, especially Systematic Theology, been successful in realizing his stated goal

Reviews

"... a reliable guide ... Taylor is to be commended for uncovering the trinitarian logic behind Pannenberg's theology, and I am confident future studies of Pannenberg will be improved by this account." - James R.A. Merrick, International Journal of Systematic Theology
Dutch review in Theologische Literaturzeitung, 2008
"Taylor's book is a fine introduction to Pannenberg's systematics, as well as a compelling exposition of what thoroughly Trinitarian' can mean." - Alan P.R. Gregory, Anglican Theological Review, Fall 2008
"Taylor's study uniquely aims to judge the Trinitarian texture of Pannenberg's Systemic Theology, and argues ably that the doctrine of God occupies its center, while rightly...countering the common allegation of Hegelianism. The book's main chapters provide concise and illuminating analysis of the Trinitarian dimensions of each doctrine in ST, as well as sound criticisms, e.g., Pannenberg's dependence on now outdated narratives about the preponderance of the divine unity and the absence of the Spirit in Western theology." -Sean Hayden, Religious Studies Review, September 2008
