The third edition of Peters’ systematic theology provides an opportunity to assess his contextual theology, descended from Tillich's ‘method of correlation’, from the perspective of my own textual theology, descended from Karl Barth's revelation theology, on the common ground of a shared Trinitarianism and positive retrieval of the twentieth-century's rediscovery of the New Testament eschatology. The article affirms Peters’ sharply focused cognitive claim to truth about God as the world's future, but asks a series of questions about how this claim is actually sustained in Peters’ capacious work. It concludes with the ‘apocalyptic’ judgement that Peters’ ‘progressive’ method is not fully adequate to the challenge of our present spiritual situation.

十字架、争辩和成全：与特德彼得斯的上帝的接触——世界的未来

彼得斯的系统神学第三版提供了一个机会来评估他的背景神学，从蒂利希的“关联方法”的角度，从我自己的文本神学的角度，从卡尔巴特的启示神学的角度，基于共同的三位一体论的共同点以及对 20 世纪对新约末世论的重新发现的积极检索。这篇文章肯定了彼得斯关于上帝是世界未来的真理的重点明确的认知主张，但提出了一系列问题，即这一主张如何在彼得斯的广泛工作中得到实际维持。它以“世界末日”的判断结束，即彼得斯的“渐进式”方法不足以应对我们目前精神状况的挑战。
