German Reformed theologian Jürgen Moltmann is one of today’s most influential Christian thinkers. Proclaiming a theology built on eschatology and the hope found in the resurrected Christ, he believes that God’s promise to act in the future is more important than the fact that God has acted in the past. For Moltmann, hope and faith depend on each other to remain true and substantial; only with both may one find “not only a consolation in suffering, but also the protest of the divine promise against suffering.”
Though deeply theological, Moltmann’s work remains pastoral and easily accessible. He draws from his experiences in WWII POW camps, which spurred him to Christianity in the first place, and asserts that hope in Christ should be the central motivating factor in the church’s life and thought. His unique approach to theology, as well as his incorporation of insights from liberation theology and ecology into mainstream theological thought, has garnered national acclaim and earned him the 2000 Grawemeyer Award in Religion.
