Personal recollections of Wolfhart Pannenberg

On the occasion of Wolfhart Pannenberg's death in September 2014, Prof. Jurgen Moltmann reflects on how his own professional and personal life intersected over the last six decades with that of his former colleague, from their first meeting as students at the University of Gottingen to their time as colleagues at the Kirchliche Hochschule Wuppertal all the way to their regular meetings between Tubingen and Munich as professors emeriti. Prof. Moltmann lifts up both the mutual respect, which both men had for each other, and also where they parted ways on political grounds. These recollections are an important testimony of one giant of twentieth-century Protestant theology of another.
