Jürgen Moltmann

    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.

      From its English publication in 1973, Jrgen Moltmanns The Crucified God garnered much attention, and it has become one of the seminal texts of twentieth-century theology. Moltmann proposes that suffering is not a problem to be solved but instead that suffering is an aspect of Gods very being: God is love, and love invariably involves suffering. In this view, the crucifixion of Jesus is an event that affects the entirety of the Trinity, showing that The Crucified God is more than an arresting titleit is a theological breakthrough.
