Reviews

This collection of essays on the impact of J. Moltmann on the future direction of theology is more than timely. As Christian theology is struggling to find a place, not simply in the geographical but in a deeper sense of cultural and ecclesial home, and to engage with other disciplines than philosophy, its traditional partner-in-dialogue, to respond to the needs of our time, these essays, which cover a wide range of theological themes, show us where Christian hope lies and how to find inspiration and sustenance from it in doing theology. I most enthusiastically recommend it to readers in and outside the church. -- Peter C. Phan, Georgetown University These essays beautifully demonstrate what it means to do theology in the wake of Jurgen Moltmann's influence. At the heart of Moltmann's theology is the new thing - the anticipated, hoped for reality that births new beginnings here and now. Written by leading theologians, the essays in this volume have this character. They are themselves new beginnings of theological reflection attentive to the pressing concerns of our time. They will make you want to read more extensively, think more courageously, and most importantly, live God's future now. Jennifer M. McBride, author of Radical Discipleship: A Liturgical Politics of the Gospel (2017) -- Jennifer M. McBride, McCormick Theological Seminary As the list of contributors would suggest, this collection testifies to the scope, vitality, and fruitfulness of Jurgen Moltmann's influence on contemporary Christian theology. These are lively and provocative reflections, offering new possibilities for theological exploration. -- Charles M. Wood, Southern Methodist University
