Klaus Nürnberger

Klaus Nürnberger, Dr theol, DTh, DD (hc), is Professor emeritus and Senior Research Associate at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. This is a most impressive and readable work. It makes a highly original contribution on to the exposition of Christian doctrine with intellectual honesty and personal engagement. It brings a fresh breeze to many doctrinal debates and engages the reader in a critical and constructive conversation. The interdisciplinary perspective is particularly significant. The author weaves insights gained from his engagement with the natural sciences and his experience with political and social theories into his theological argument. His sensitivity for the concerns of today’s Christians and the pastoral warmth with which he deals with most issues make this work a valuable and liberating reading experience. (Prof Christoph Schwöbel, University of Tübingen). This is not only the summa?? on of all Nürnberger’s work over many years, but a lively, contemporary presentation of what it means to live in the world in the presence of a redemptive God who offers us life and hope. Despite its size and scope, Klaus brings to his task a refreshing lightness of touch, a humanity, and a sense of solidarity with the reader as we journey with him over the terrain that he explores (Prof John de Gruchy, University of Cape Town).
