God the Spirit - and Natural Science

Born in 1928 in Stettin, Germany, Pannenberg began his theological studies at the University of Berlin after World War II and also studied at the University of Göttingen and the University of Basel. He completed his doctoral dissertation at the University of Heidleberg. He studied under theologians Karl Barth and Edmund Schlink, among others. Pannenberg has drawn together religion and science through much of his life.

He has also contributed substantially to the philosophy of history and the philosophy of science. He has been called an "eschatological realist" and a great interdisciplinary thinker.
