Book 11 of 2024 -- The Spirit of Hope: Theology for a World in Peril

 


Earlier this year when Jurgen Moltmann died I realized that while I had read excerpts of his work over the year I had never read one of his books (though I have been told that my eschatology might fall close to his). So I went looking and chose this volume. 

It appears mainly to be a compilation of lectures and essays from a variety of times in his career, mainly the later years. The first section was a very easy read and informed some of what I did in September sermons for Creation Time. Then second section was a bit less engaging and took into October to finish.

Overall I generally liked what Moltmann was proposing. I definitely like his focus on hope. There are parts I may go back and re-read as time goes on.
