Der dritte Band der Systematischen Theologie Wolfhart Pannenbergs schließt den dogmatischen Gesamtentwurf ab. Er behandelt die Ekklesiologie, das Sakramenten- und Amtsverständnis, die christlichen Existenz des Einzelnen und die Eschatologie. "God is the world's future. God's future retroactively determines the meaning and even the being of your and my life in our present context. The whole determines the parts. The future determines the present. We live in faith, in proleptic expectation of this final future. This future expectation is the uniting thread that ties together the fabric of the systematic theology produced by Wolfhart Pannenberg, the late 20th century Titan of German thought. It has been a blessing to me to have Pannenberg as a model, mentor, colleague, and friend." Ted Peters, Emeritus Professor of Systematic Theology and Ethics at Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary, Berkeley, USA
