"The following efforts bear the title Theology of Hope, not because they set out once again to present eschatology as a separate doctrine and to compete with the well known textbooks. Rather, their aim is to show how theology can set out from hope and begin to consider its theme in an eschatological light. For this reason they inquire into the ground of the hope of Christian faith and into the responsible exercise of this hope in thought and action in the world today. The various critical discussions should not be understood as rejections and condemnations. They are necessary conversations on a common subject which is so rich that it demands continual new approaches."

The Church in the Power of the Spirit: A Contribution to Messianic Ecclesiology [hardcover] Jurgen Moltmann,Margaret Kohl [Apr 01, 1977]

The Church in the Power of the Spirit: A Contribution to Messianic Ecclesiology

Dust jacket notes: "The world's premier Protestant theologian here inaugurates a series of 'systematic contributions to theology' that boldly rethink the important concepts and major doctrines of Christian faith. The Trinity and the Kingdom forcefully counters the 'oppressive monotheism; that has dominated theology for centuries with a liberating theology of the Trinity more faithful to our biblical heritage and deepest aspirations. Within Moltmann's Trinitarian understanding, the unfolding of God's kingdom parallels human historical development. Thus, the kingdom of the Father lies in the creation of a world open to the future, but in which we are servants under the law. In the kingdom of the Son, God humbles himself and liberates his people from the power of sin and the necessity of nature, preparing them for the kingdom of the Spirit, when we become the friends of God, filled with the freeing power of the Spirit. And each of these steps points to the kingdom of glory: the completion of God's creation, the Son's liberation, the Spirit's indwelling. Presented not as rigid dogma, but as dynamic 'contributions to theology,' The Trinity and the Kingdom is designed to help readers formulate their own ideas and to prepare the way or broad and intensive theological discussion. Use of The Trinity and the Kingdom as a catalyst in this manner supports Moltmann's conviction 'that, humanly speaking, truth is to be found in unhindered dialogue.' With concern for the social, dialectic, and healing dimensions of his Trinitarian purview, Moltmann offers a broadly ecumenical approach. This is evidenced by his particular efforts to bring Judaism and the testimonies of the biblical Jewish faith into the discussion with the biblical Christian faith...."

The Trinity and the Kingdom: The Doctrine of God

The Way of Jesus Christ discusses the following topics: 1. The symbol of the way embodies the aspect of process and brings out christology's alignment towards its goal. This symbol can comprehend Christ's way from his birth in the Spirit and his baptism in the Spirit to his self-surrender on Golgotha. It also makes it possible to understand the path of Christ as the way leading from his resurrection to his parousia-the way he takes in the Spirit to Israel, to the nations, and into the breadth and depth of the cosmos. 2. The symbol of the way makes us aware that every human christology is historically conditioned and limited. Every human christology is a 'christology of the way,' not yet a 'christology of the home country,' a christology of faith, not yet a christology of sight. So christology is no more than the beginning of eschatology; and eschatology, as the Christian faith understands it, is always the consummation of christology. 3. Finally, but not least important: every way is an invitation. A way is something to be followed. 'The way of Jesus Christ' is not merely a christological category. It is an ethical category too. Anyone who enters upon Christ's way will discover who Jesus really is; and anyone who really believes in Jesus and the Christ of God will follow him along the way he himself took. Christology and christopraxis find one another in the full and completed knowledge of Christ. This christology links dogmatics and ethics in closer detail than in the previous volumes.

"This is Jürgen Moltmann's best and therefore most important book. He has substantially changed the central thrust of his theology without sacrificing its most vital element, its passionate concern for alleviation of the world's suffering." -Langdon Gilkey "The Crucified God rewards, as it demands, the reader's patient and open-minded attention, for its theme is nothing other than the "explosive presence" of the sighting and liberating Spirit of God in the midst of human life." -The Review of Books and Religion

"This book, which in my opinion is Moltmann's best, can be recommended on the basis that it contains challenging and creative insights that can be used by the discriminating reader in the service of church renewalâ€¦Moltmann represents the theology of liberation at its best, and those who wish to know more about this theology would do well to study this creative and searching theologian." --Donald G. Bloesch Christianity Today "Moltmann is perhaps unsurpassed among his contemporaries in keenness of insight and rhetorical power." --Daniel L. Migliore, Theology Today "Moltmann presents a stirring vision which every Christian community could well ponderâ€¦With a missionary emphasis, he seeks to help the reader face the question of the church's identity in the light of the contemporary political, economic, and social scene." --Religious Education
