The publication of Volume 3 of German theologian Wolfhart Pannenberg's Systematic Theology completes the English edition of a work that will surely come to stand as one of the lasting theological statements of the twentieth century.
Not just externally the theme of the church lies at the heart of this
third volume of the present exposition of Christian doctrine. It
occupies by far the largest chapter, though also embracing the
doctrine of the Spirit as an eschatological gift that aims at the eschatological consummation of salvation, that guarantees this, and that thus gives assurance of salvation in all the earthly fragility of Christian existence.
