In the End-the Beginning: An Introduction into the Theology of Jürgen Moltmann
Author: LIN Hong-Hsin, Professor, Theological College & Seminary
Abstract:
<p font-size:17.5px;background-color:#dfeef7;"="" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px;">Moltmann’s theology of hope (also an ethics of hope) has done a great job in interpreting the Christian faith from an eschatological perspective, which has led him to the theology of the cross and then to trinitairan theology. Such a theology has focused upon human history, and has led him to a hope formed by revelation from heaven. This paper argues that Moltmann does not try to defend himself against criticisms that his theology is one-sided, but rather he takes them as a starting point to develop a greater comprehensiveness. Above all, his theological journey is a journey of adventure, a journey that always comes with surprises.
