Klaus Nürnberger , Dr theol, DTh, DD (hc), is Professor emeritus and Senior Research Associate at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. This book breaks new ground. Instead of taking Philosophy as his main interlocutor in developing his ideas, the author affords that role to the current scientific worldview. One of the outstanding characteristics of this text is the remarkable coherence which it exhibits. The various subsections of Systematic Theology are closely and consistently developed in terms of the central theme of the book (Prof Conrad Wethmar, University of Pretoria). Klaus Nürnberger’s Invitation to Systematic Theology takes us into the Word of God, guides us through the various rooms in the theological mansion, and ushers us out into the fertile garden of practical living. God’s benevolence becomes our benevolence in daily life. An inspiring treatment of the Christian faith (Prof Ted Peters, Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary, Berkeley, CA). Although my own paradigm of doing theology sharply differs from that of the author, nobody can deny that he wrote a book of high academic standard which challenges classic orthodoxy in many ways. The author is well-informed, ‘broadminded’, a man of wide reading, intelligent argumentation and always thought-provoking (Prof Amie van Wyk, University of Potchesfroom).
