God for a Secular Society: The Public Relevance of Theology
In this masterful analysis of the religious
and political dilemmas at the end of the
modern age, world-renowned theologian Jürgen
Moltmann assays the vaulting dreams and
colossal failures of our time. He asks how
we came to this point, and he argues
strenuously for Christian discipleship and
public theology that take sides. In both
critical and creative ways he advances the
specific relevance of Christian messianic
hope to today's thorniest political,
economic, and ecological questions—including human rights,
environmental
rights, globalization, market capitalism,
fundamentalisms, and Jewish-Christian
relations—and the deeper values contested
therein.
In a world reeling between utopia and disaster, Moltmann here passionately and provacatively shows how Christian discipleship, through engagement and solidarity, can blaze a redemptive path.
