So here is Chad and I's first podcast. For some reason one of the phones sounded kind of creepy, so if it creeps you out we are sorry.

Pannenberg – Revelation pt. 3
It is only the self-revelation of God that creates the possibility for meaningful theological language, because without it theological statements do not amount to more than the presumptuous utterances of human subjectivity.

Pannenberg – Revelation pt. 2
