About the book >.>.> What I should like to do now is to persent a series of systematic contributions to theology differing from my earlier books in a number of ways. Here I should her to consider the context and correlations of important concepts and doctrines of Christian theol- ogy in a particular systematic sequence. I am not attempting to present a system or a “Dogmatics however which is one reason for choosing the description ‘contributions to thrology’. Every consistent theological summing up every theological sys tem lays claim to totality perfect organization and entire com- petence for the whole area under survey. In principle one has to be able to say everything and not to leave any point unconsidered. All the statements must fit in with one another without contradic- tion and the whole architecture must be harmonious an integrated whole. Every theoretical system even a theological one has there- fore an aestetic charm at least to some degree. But this allurement can also be a dangerous seduction. Systems save some readers (and their admirers most of all) from thinking critically for themselves and from arriving at independent and responsible decision. For systems do not present themselves for discussion. For that reason I have resisted the temptation to develop a theological system even an ‘open’ one. The common tried and tested view of what dogmatics is also made me hesitate. (LL)
