Summary:

Based on one of the greatest living theologians, Wolfhart Pannenberg, this book is the first comprehensive study of 'human destiny'. Mapping out the movement of humanity over the course of its history to its common destiny from creation through sin and ethics to eschatology, the book also examines the extent to which scholars such as Herder have influenced Pannenberg's work in this important area and shows how Pannenberg's project on ethics is related to human destiny.

Contents:

Setting the scene

Image of God as both fount and destiny of humanity

Openness of humanity

Sin as an antithesis to human destiny

Eschatology and ethics in human destiny

Theological anthropology : destiny centred, history focused.
