	The Praxis of Suffering
		Moltmann's narrative readings, however, of a God who is identified in suffering and hope -- what we shall call the dialectic of identification -- moves beyond his formal method to provoke a witness to the future of hope in the memory of suffering.
		Moltmann begins his political theology not with the rupture of events of suffering or with the interruption of history by the subjects of suffering, but with a bold critique of earlier forms of neo-orthodox theology.
		Moltmann maintains that the dialectic of identification of the cross and the resurrection is a "continuity in radical discontinuity" and that the understanding of this dialectic has been the central problem in most Christological controversies.

	Jurgen Moltmann: The Language of God as the Language of Suffering - Sean Hannity Discussion
		Moltmann interprets the present situation through suffering; indeed, for Moltmann the modern world is identified largely with suffering: economic exploitation, political oppression, cultural alienation through racism and sexism, emptiness in personal life, physical suffering, and environmental destruction.7 People, Moltmann observes, suffer from a deeply "ingrained primal fear" of the death of humankind.
		For Moltmann, Christianity -- its message and its witness -- is eschatology.9 The definitive event of Christian eschatology is the revelation of God in Jesus Christ.10 The revelation of Jesus Christ does not portray an epiphany of the eternal present that sanctifies the present in correspondence to the cosmos.
		Moltmann suggests that within the horizon of promise, the experience of history is both the experience of future possibilities and the experience of the totally new: the future is known as futur and zukunft.

	Boston Collaborative Encyclopedia of Western Theology: Jurgen Moltmann
		In the context of a theologia crucis Moltmann develops the thesis that real Christianity must hold on to both ends of the various alternatives that are often presented for an understanding of Christianity—evangelization and humanization, the "vertical dimension" of faith and the "horizontal dimension" of love of neighbor, the humanity and the divinity of Jesus.
		However, in fact Moltmann is interested in "the content of theology, in its revision in the light of its biblical origin, and in its innovation given the challenges of the present" rather than in the questions of theological method(Meeks 1996,103).
		In a sense, Moltmann is a reviser or an innovator of theology.

	The Crucified God: The Cross of Christ As the Foundation and Criticism of Christian Theology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Moltmann's chief concern in The Crucified God was to rescue the hope of the resurrection from any confusion with the officially optimistic culture of modern capitalist society.
		Moltmann's treatment of the cross, therefore, is a plea for Christians to enter into the suffering that God has already entered into, and not remain passive or complacent as outside, "objective" (i.e., apathetic) observers of the human condition.
		Moltmann is sensitive to the need to recapture the Judaic background of Christianity in modern Christian theology and offers an interesting perspective on this subject.

	Jurgen Moltmann's Social Trinitarianism
		Moltmann: Messianic Theology in the Making (Marshall Pickering, 1987), pvii] He deals with theological experience of God not just individually "but always collectively as well." [ibid., pviii] Experience is not to be pre-occupied with self, for that is narcissism, but is to encompass wonder and pain.
		Moltmann writes about the general character of his theology: "...I am attempting to reflect on a theology which has: a biblical foundation, an eschatological orientation, [and] a political responsibility." [Moltmann quoted in Richard Bauckham.
		As we consider whether Moltmann presents an adequate doctrine of the Trinity, we should note his emphasis that he is not producing a new, complete package of beliefs.

		In this book, one of the most influential theologians of recent times brings together his most important contributions to the dialogue between science and theology, placing wisdom as the ethics of knowledge at their centre.
		Moltmann argues that theology and science have much to learn from each other, despite the fact that religious knowledge is largely discredited in the secularising west.
		Moltmann has long been involved in scientific-theological dialogue, and these collected essays are a reflection of over fifty years’ reflection.

	Grawemeyer winners return to share ideas
		Moltmann earned the award for his book, "The Coming of God: Christian Eschatology," which argues that customary ideas of last days are contradictory and dysfunctional, even dangerous.
		In his lecture, Moltmann said that God is in continual conversation with creation and humanity and, therefore, God is not interested in the destruction of the world but in its fulfillment.
		Moltmann expressed that this is indeed a message of hope which should help humanity to be watchful for what is now present in life as well as what is in the future.

	PIETIST INFLUENCES IN THE ESCHATOLOGICAL THOUGHT OF JOHN WESLEY AND JORGEN MOLTMANN
		Moltmann traces its reappearance in the left wing of the Reformation, and in the later representatives of the federalist (covenant) school of Rhineland and Württemburg Pietism.
		Moltmann was attracted to Joachim's future orientation, whereby he had predicted the imminence of the "Third Age," that of the Spirit, that would be marked by the fullness of the Spirit as an indwelling Presence within the lives of humankind.
		Moltmann also affirms Joachim's outlook over against the more normative, Augustinian view of history that subdued the element of progress in the historical struggle between the two cities and also spiritualized, and thereby relativized, the doctrine of the millennium by identifying it with the age of the church in history since Pentecost.

		Moltmann: Christian eschatology is the remembered hope of the resurrection of the crucified Christ and therefore speaks of new beginnings in the mortal end.

		Jurgen Moltmann's theology is referred to, in particular his idea that the universe is an anticipatory system.
		As Moltmann sees it, though, anticipation is not just the domain of a biological modelling system, but applies rather to the entire cosmos.
		To paraphrase Jurgen Moltmann, the universe is an anticipatory system open to the creative activity and calling of the Spirit.

		It is subtitled, “The Eschatology of Jurgen Moltmann,” who, indeed, clearly supports “the universalism of salvation in Christ”; (p.151) and sees that “the universality of God's grace is grounded on the theology of the cross” (p.47).
		A short section by Moltmann entitled “The Logic of Hell” (pages 43-47), however, is excellent, and should be required reading in seminaries and Bible schools.
		Moltmann correctly connects the “logic of hell” with the “logic of human free will,” and he finds such logic "not merely inhumane but also extremely atheistic." He asks, “Does God's love preserve our free will, or does it free our enslaved will, which has become un-free through the power of sin?”

		To Moltmann, and those who think like him, a God who cannot suffer is completely insensitive, uninvolved.
		In Christ’s dread cry of dereliction on the Cross, Moltmann sees the Fatherlessness of the Son matched by the Sonlessness of the Father.

		So begins Moltmann's book immediately in the preface explaining the purpose of the book: this book is not about the popular notion of eschatology defined as the last things: rather, the author views the 'end' as the beginning.
		Moltmann concludes having looked at the historical perspectives that "[t]he eschatological doctrine about the restoration of all things has these two sides: God's Judgment, which puts things right, and God's kingdom, which awakens new life" (Moltmann 1996, 255).
		Again, many different movements are looked at and discussed, with Moltmann ultimately discussing the earth as the dwelling place of heaven (Rev. 22), and "[t]he presence of the divine life becomes the inexhaustible source of creaturely life, which thereby becomes the life that is eternal" (Moltmann 1996, 319).

		The creation hypothesis Moltmann proposes most vigorously, however, is based soundly upon intraTrinitarian suppositions: "If we proceed from the inner-trinitarian relationships of the Persons in the Trinity, then it becomes clear that the Father creates the one who is his Other by virtue of his love for the Son" (112).
		Moltmann has been at the fore in suggesting that kenosis, as God's self-emptying love, should be seen as the clue to God's loving creation and interaction with the world.
		Moltmann does not avoid the problem but confronts the all-pervasiveness of metaphysical evil head-on: without even in principle being able to 'solve' the problem (and who could 'solve' the problem of a dying child?), he points to a Trinitarian aspect: the Christian view of God is of one who suffers before and with the world.

		Moltmann, "the foremost Protestant theologian in the world" (Church Times), brings his characteristic audacity to this traditional topic and cuts to the heart of the matter with a simple identification: What we experience every day as the spirit of life is the spirit of God.
		With his emphatic insistence on the Spirit, Moltmann's clear call to conscience as the one indispensable element for human survival is essential reading for our times and highly recommended for Christians and other truth seekers in search of an enhanced and motivational understanding of spirituality within the context of a contemporary and secular world.
		Moltmann is critical of mainstream Christianity's neglect of this crucial issue in the realm of pneumatology.

		Moltmann argues that we must view God's sovereignty through the lens of Christ.
		Moltmann answers in the affirmative, but only after he has clearly demonstrated that God's suffering is different from human suffering, in that God willingly chooses to suffer.
		The logical limitation of this line of argument [that God either can or cannot suffer] is that it only perceives a single alternative: either essential incapacity for suffering, or a fateful subjection to suffering.

		It argues that an intimate 'covenantal' relationship between God and humankind has existed since the moment of creation and that this is a model for human relationships based not on condemnation but on love and acceptance.
		Following Moltmann it suggests that God who 'died outside the gate on Golgotha for those who are outside' is himself caught up in the suffering and rejection of people infected and affected by HIV.
		Within this framework the paper considers the various forms of injustice and stigmatisation that have caused the epidemic to spread this far and urges the churches to break their silence and offer hope, both theologically and practically.

		I felt that without this critique of Moltmann’s perspective, the thesis didn’t quite have the punch that it could have.
		The reason for not including a critique of Moltmann was really that I wanted as far as possible to allow the New Testament view of the future to emerge as a coherent, contextualized narrative.
		Given the strongly existential orientation of Moltmann’s eschatology it might make more sense to consider it in this context rather than in a work whose approach is essentially exegetical and narrative.

		For God acts in the history of nature and human beings through his patient and silent presence, says Moltmann, by way of which he gives those he has created space to unfold.
