Jürgen Moltmann, nemecký reformovaný teológ, ponúka perspektívu nádeje založenú na eschatológii a zmŕtvychvstaní. Jeho teológia zdôrazňuje, že kresťanská nádej spočíva v nádeji na Kristovo zmŕtvychvstanie, ktoré poskytuje útechu v utrpení a zároveň protest proti nemu. Táto nádej však vedie k nespokojnosti so súčasným hriešnym svetom, ktorý sa zakladá na beznádeji. Moltmann vidí všetko z eschatologickej perspektívy, smerom k novému stvoreniu, kde nádej prináša radosť do súčasnosti a poháňa túžbu po možnom. Týmto prepojením stvorenia a eschatológie sa budúcnosť nádeje stáva nádejou dneška.
Nejvyraznější a patrně i nejdůležitější Moltmannova kniha nahlíží celek teologie z perspektivy Kristova kříže jakožto Božího kříže. Právě tímto důrazem se její autor nesmazatelně zapsal do dějin teologie. Odvážil se totiž na trojičním půdorysu domyslet smrt Boha radikálně až do konce: v Ježíši Kristu umírá Bůh Syn a v jeho smrti zakouší i sám Otec smrt svého otcovství. Lidská smrt se tak na kříži stává součástí Božího života, ktery se pak ve vzkříšení prokazuje jako silnější. Moltmann tímto odvážnym pojetím konečně doplnil do mozaiky křesťanské tradice ústřední kamínek, ktery v ní dlouhá staletí chyběl.

In 1996, to celebrate Jurgen Moltmann's seventieth birthday, a remarkable group of theologians, both Catholic and Protestant, gathered in Tuebingen. Before a large audience they spent the day discussing how their theology had changed, or not changed, over the previous thirty years, often in a deeply moving way. This book is a record of what they said, together with the text of a subsequent television broadcast and an assessment of the day by a distinguished journalist. In addition to Jurgen Moltmann and his wife Elisabeth Moltmann-Wendel, the theologians involved were Eberhard Juengel, Dorothee Soelle, Johann Baptist Metz, Norbert Greinacher, Joerg Zink, Philip Potter and Hans Kueng. Between them they covered almost all the most important areas of theology, from systematic theology to feminist theology and liberation theology. What was particularly striking was how their careers had been stamped by the war and the subsequent division of Germany, which added an unforgettable personal touch to their accounts. Here is an invaluable guide to those figures who have moulded the present theological scene, figures who as yet have no obvious successors. Jurgen Moltmann is Emeritus Professor of Systematic Theology in the Protestant Theological Faculty of the University of Tuebingen.

A creative rethinking of the Trinity in Light of human suffering. . . In the suffering of Christ we see that we have a God who suffers with us out of a faithful love toward us. The Christian Century Here is a theology that challenges the restrictive suppositions of our time, inviting not only the theological establishment but also church leaders and teachers everywhere to assess and perhaps re-think their own theologies in light of this remarkable study. The Christian Ministry
From its English publication in 1973, Jrgen Moltmanns The Crucified God garnered much attention, and it has become one of the seminal texts of twentieth-century theology. Moltmann proposes that suffering is not a problem to be solved but instead that suffering is an aspect of Gods very being: God is love, and love invariably involves suffering. In this view, the crucifixion of Jesus is an event that affects the entirety of the Trinity, showing that The Crucified God is more than an arresting titleit is a theological breakthrough.
