| Summary: | This article responds to Philip Clayton's critiques of Wolfhart Pannenberg's theological concept of anticipation (prolepsis). Clayton complains that Pannenberg's usage of anticipation is unsystematic and too ontological. Over against Clayton, I argue here that Pannenberg's concept of anticipation is coherently integrated into his doctrine of the Trinity. I further contend that anticipation is a necessary implication of Pannenberg's futuristic ontology, because anticipation is the only way we in the present can acknowledge that God's eschatological fulfillment constitutes the really real. |
