Wolfhart Pannenberg was a mid-20th century German theologian who came to Christ in his teen years, and made Christianity his life's work. He and a group of like-minded theologians formed what came to be called the "Pannenberg Circle" - a group of friend-scholars who met regularly to cooperatively tackle the most important issues in Christianity. Their combined efforts, under W. Pannenberg as the general editor, enabled them to produce six books between 1968 and 1972.
Look, here's a blog I made. I think this blog will help us write 6 books over five years.
Just kidding. So what's the point of this? Wes and I have joked for awhile about making a modern Pannenberg Circle - a group of like-minded, gospel-centered, missional, critically-thinking, truth-loving, pontification-hating guys who could rip off Pannenberg's idea and engage issues we think are important. It's hard to find time to talk, it's hard to find enough time to achieve anything when we can find time to talk. Yet I suspect we all wish we could.
So maybe we can use this, since we don't have the South side basement anymore. If we don't use this, who cares. This blog was free. But maybe this could be a tool to sharpen us individually and corporately.
