April 8, 1926 – June 3, 2024
Jürgen Moltmann, a German Reformed theologian, offers a perspective on hope grounded in eschatology and resurrection. His theology emphasizes that Christian hope rests in the hope of Christ's resurrection, providing solace in suffering while simultaneously protesting against it. This hope, however, leads to discontent with the current sinful world, which is founded on hopelessness. Moltmann views all through an eschatological lens, towards a new creation where hope brings joy to the present and fuels a passion for the possible. By intertwining creation and eschatology, the hope of the future becomes the hope of today.
