passion for God's reign, A
Book Description
In this thought-provoking theological dialogue, renowned Christian scholar Jürgen Moltmann presents a compelling vision for how faith engages with the complexities of modern Western society. Rather than retreating into private spirituality, Moltmann argues for theology's essential public role, demonstrating how Christian thought can meaningfully address the pressing questions of our contemporary world.
The book explores the dynamic relationship between academic theological inquiry and lived church experience, examining how both contribute to understanding faith's relevance in today's cultural landscape. Moltmann's central thesis challenges readers to consider how expressions of Christian belief can constructively engage with the defining characteristics of modernity, rather than standing apart from them.
What makes this work particularly valuable is its dialogical format. Distinguished scholars Nicholas Wolterstorff and Ellen T. Charry offer substantive responses to Moltmann's proposals, creating a rich conversation that illuminates different perspectives on theology's purpose and practice. Their engagement with his ideas provides readers with multiple viewpoints on fundamental questions about Christian learning, the nature of selfhood, and faith's place in contemporary civilization.
This concise yet substantial exploration offers readers an opportunity to wrestle with essential questions about how spiritual conviction intersects with intellectual inquiry and public life. The book serves as both an introduction to important theological debates and an invitation to deeper reflection on faith's role in shaping our understanding of modern existence.
