Jürgen Moltmann: Collected Readings
Overview
One of the most widely read, quoted, and translated theologians of our time, Jürgen Moltmann has indelibly marked the history of theology after World War II in Europe and North America. His systematic work thrives on the cutting edge of Christian theology in the twenty-first century, challenging and stimulating a whole generation of theologians to think in different and more comprehensive ways. In this volume, Margaret Kohl—translator of many of Moltmann’s volumes—compiles representative samples of his theological writings, providing brief prefaces to each of the selections. This reader makes a perfect introduction to Moltmann’s thought, and includes an extended introduction by Moltmann scholar Richard Bauckham.

Top Highlights
“The prophet is an ish haruach, a man driven and emboldened by the spirit of God.” (Page 58)
“Rather, for Moltmann, God’s love is his passionate concern, his committed and costly involvement with the world.” (Page 4)
“Temptation then consists not so much in the titanic desire to be as God, but in weakness, timidity, weariness, not wanting to be what God requires of us.” (Page 14)
“God is love because the three persons who are God constitute their unity in an intimate reciprocity of loving relationships.” (Page 4)
“Christian hope has nothing in common with the complacent optimism of the successful. Solidarity with the victims—including the victims of ‘progress’—alone gives it Christian authenticity. While those who saw in Theology of Hope little more than a theological gloss on the progressivist optimism of the modern age were surprised, even shocked, by the turn Moltmann’s theology took in his next major book; those attuned to the christological heart of his early work were somewhat less taken off-guard. Whereas Theology of Hope found God-given hope in the resurrection of the crucified Christ, The Crucified God found the suffering love of God in the cross of the risen Christ. A dialectic of cross and resurrection was at work in both.” (Page 2)
