Description: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 examines the extent to which Herder has influenced Pannenberg's work in this important area and shows how Pannenberg's' project on ethics has developed and matured.
