Pannenberg emphasizes the concern for internal coherence and consistency in systematic theology because “an investigation which seeks truth must be systematic in order to correspond to the unity of truth, the mutual correspondence of everything that is true.”[51] Pannenberg’s emphasis on the ultimate unity of all truth in God, who is the all-embracing reality, and his appreciation for the limitations of human understanding and expression of this truth in the successive incarnations of history and culture are also evident in his treatment of the specialized role of systematic theology.
