(12) Jurgen Moltmann (1926- )
1) He was born in1926 in German and studied at several German universities before shooting to theological prominence in 1964 with Theology of Hope (Theologie der Hoffnung). It arose from the ashes of modernism and the "death of God" of the 1960s and sought to avoid both world-denying Barthianism and navel-gazing existentialism.
2) Since 1967 Moltmann has been professor of systematic theology at the University of Tubingen. He has traced from Luther and Calvin through Schleiermacher to Barth.
3) He argues that Christ is the starting point for our understanding of God. In other words, instead of starting with an idea of God and then modifying it by reference to Christ, we simply point to Christ.
4) He focuses his theological starting point on as a whole Christ and so points out that the most obvious characteristic of Christ is that he suffers and dies. So if we are really serious about treating Christ as our window into God's nature, then we must accept that this is true of God too. And not only that: if Christ prime source of information on God, then it means that suffering is God's prime quality.
5) For him God intrinsically suffers as Christ suffered on the cross.
6) For him, God is not just the God of suffering, he is also the God of resurrection - and he ties this in with the New Testament emphasis on eschatology, the coming end of the world.
7) He thinks that the eschatological message of Jesus and the first Christians is more relevant today than ever. He does for eschatology what Barth did for the Trinity. He rescues what had been a marginalized embarrassment to Christian doctrine and makes it the centerpiece of his theology.
8) He influenced from the Principle of Hope (das prinzip der hoffnung) by Ernst Bloch, a Marxist. He suggests threefold concepts of church; the church for the people, the church of the people and the true church.
9) His major theological concepts are covenant and hope.
① For him, it is not important that what Christ is (ontological question), but what Christ will be(do) in the future: the question to the hope in the future). In other words, he concerns about hope.
② This hope is not the one disregarded today, on the contrary to the present, and continues to connect to the hope in the future.
10) He seeks the concept of covenant in the history of the Old Testament. The concept of covenant must start from the Hebrew history, and the meaning of the hope must be sought in the future (eschathological approach).
11) His Theology of Hope is eschatologically-centered and focuses on the hope that the resurrection brings. For Moltmann, the hope of the Christian faith is hope in the resurrection of Christ crucified.
12) For Moltmann, creation and eschatology depend on one another. There exists an ongoing process of creation, continuing creation, alongside creation ex nihilo and the consummation of creation. The consummation of creation will consist of the eschatological transformation of this creation into the new creation.
