This volume is addressing the Christology of incarnation and the power of Jesus’s resurrection and the relationship of Jesus and God and man. Wolfhart Pannenberg here looks and analyses the contrasting theories between the Alexandrian fusion of Jesus with God and Antiochene separation between Jesus and God.

In other words he is saying the resurrection of Jesus is a true event that took place and it makes the message of the church real and true He is painting a picture that if it wasn’t so then we are still bound in sin and death.This challenges the thinking of Bultmann who believes that faith presupposes the fact that Jesus of Nazareth lived and died but the the Easter kerygma is independent of the claims of the historicity of the New Testament.This shows Pannenberg’s position that we can not separate the resurrection of Jesus from God, and place it away from actual human history. He subscribes to the view that the modern world needs to be shown that the history of the event and its historical reason is convincingly open to them so that the resurrection event doesn 't be come a church thing only. One can deduce that he is saying Jesus was resurrected for all not just for a select group in this case Christians. This brings the whole story of God into perspective.Pannenberg further says that the resurrection was God’s vindication of Jesus’s claims to authority, it is God’s certification that Jesus was who he said he was.He is a believer that the resurrection theology has eschatology
