While Pannenberg’s theology is perhaps best known for his emphasis on a theology of history and its eschatological shape, the fundamental intent is to provide a witness of how Christian faith can be lived in the contemporary world in an intellectually honest and satisfying manner. This theme was present in his work right from the beginning in the form of his insistence that God’s self-revelation in history is open to all rather than the province of a special revelation history only accessible to believers.
