Theologian Wolfhart Pannenberg is one of the people I talk with in my dreams. It happens when you read someone quite a bit. We have a number of ongoing debates, some places I think he nails it, and others where we part ways. None the less I think it does a theologian good to hangout with him. Below you can watch a little 10 minute video that introduces you to Pannenberg’s life and thought. If you are more interested you can look through our least read blog posts ever, my blogging through Pannenberg’s 3 volume systematic theology.

If you too have conversations with Pannenberg in your dreams I would love to hear from you. Has Pannenberg ever free-styled a little rap about the ontological priority of the future for you? If only I could have recorded it!!!
Do your theological dreams cause you to lose sleep? When I was working on my math degree I would complete mathematical proofs in my sleep, sometimes quiet vividly. My experience is similar when I read theology. Sometimes I avoid theology just to get a good night’s sleep. My employer would probably frown upon me taking “theological angst” sick days. How do you cope?
But I do dig Pannenberg and would gladly lose some sleep to bust some rhymes with him in my dreams!
Tripp it seems anthing related to Pannennerg or Process stuff makes you happy.
