This edition includes a comprehensive overview of the evolution of systematic theology, highlighting key works and themes from the author's intellectual journey. It begins with an exploration of Christian certainty and the historical Jesus, followed by discussions on church apologetics and systematic theology itself. The text delves into significant concepts such as justification and doubt, the idea of revelation, and the relationship between eschatology and history. Further, it examines Protestantism as both a critical and formative principle, the interplay of nature and sacrament, and interpretations of Christology within historical contexts. The author addresses the challenges of modern thought, the enduring significance of the Catholic Church for Protestantism, and the core principles of Protestantism. Themes of estrangement and reconciliation, redemption in both cosmic and social histories, and a reinterpretation of the doctrine of incarnation are also explored. The work culminates in discussions on the recovery of prophetic tradition during the Reformation, the central concept of new being in Christian theology, and existential analyses alongside religious symbols. The final sections reflect on dimensions of life, the concept of God above God, and the impact of Christian hope in the world, as well as the relevance of religious history for systematic theology.
