Scriptural Authoritarianism. Pannenberg's dispute with Bultmann centers on revelation and its relationship to history. To Bultmann, faith and reason are totally separate, as are God's history and man's; the divine will is known only through the kerygma (proclamation) -God's word as contained in Scripture, which is understandable only through faith. Pannenberg argues that Bultmann preaches a kind of "Biblical authoritarianism" of God's word and, in effect, pushes Christian faith outside the boundaries of history.

Instead of deploring this trend, the church should welcome and assist it by supporting rapid social change. This will mean, Cox warns, a restructuring of its essential tasks: kerygma (proclaiming God's message), diakonia (service) and koinonia (creating a community). In technopolis, the message of the church is to proclaim those secular events and movements "where God's reconciliation is break ing in." Service means to "identify" with this reconciling action...
