First published in 1992, Ted Peter's God--The World's Future is a proven and comprehensive textbook in systematic theology, explicitly crafted to address our postmodern context. It explains the whole body of Christian historical doctrine from within a 'proleptic' framework, 'whereby the gospel is understood as announcing the pre-actualization of the futre consummation of all things in Jesus Christ.' Peter's skillfully deploys this concept not only to organize the various theological areas or loci but also to rethink doctrines in light of key postmodern challenges from ecumenism, critical historical thinking, contemparary science, and gender relations. For this second edition, the author has updated each chapter, made substantive changes in the books' treatment of God and Christ's 'offices,' and further elaborated his theology in light of developments in feminist and deconstructive theologies.
