The Church in the Power of the Spirit
'This book, which in my opinion is Moltmann's best, can be recommended on the basis that it contains challenging and creative insights that can be used by the discriminating reader in the service of church renewal...Moltmann represents the theology of liberation at its best, and those who wish to know more about this theology would do well to study this creative and searching theologian.' --Donald G. Bloesch Christianity Today 'Moltmann is perhaps unsurpassed among his contemporaries in keenness of insight and rhetorical power.' --Daniel L. Migliore, Theology Today 'Moltmann presents a stirring vision which every Christian community could well ponder...With a missionary emphasis, he seeks to help the reader face the question of the church's identity in the light of the contemporary political, economic, and social scene.' --Religious Education
The Crucified God: 40th Anniversary Edition
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.
The Trinity and the Kingdom
'An excellent introduction to the prophets and the prophetic literature . . . The goal of the book is to understand the thought of the prophets in their historical contexts, and to communicate that understanding for our time. Its approach, while innovative, builds upon he best of contemporary analysis of the prophetic literature.' --Gene M. Tucker Candler School of Theology Emory University 'Koch's first volume on the prophets of ancient Israel displays his sound and creative scholarship and will fill a bibliographical gap.He displays the individuality of each prophet with perceptive insight, but he also compares and interrelates them in his various summaries. Furthermore, Koch relates his study of individual prophets to theological currents that have been flowing through the scholarly world in recent decades.' --Bernhard W. Anderson Princeton Theological Seminary
Theology of Hope
'The following efforts bear the title Theology of Hope, not because they set out once again to present eschatology as a separate doctrine and to compete with the well known textbooks. Rather, their aim is to show how theology can set out from hope and begin to consider its theme in an eschatological light. For this reason they inquire into the ground of the hope of Christian faith and into the responsible exercise of this hope in thought and action in the world today. The various critical discussions should not be understood as rejections and condemnations. They are necessary conversations on a common subject which is so rich that it demands continual new approaches.'

Theology of Hope
Causing a considerable stir when it was first published in Germany in 1965, 'Theology of Hope' represents a comprehensive statement of the importance for theology of eschatology - and of an eschatological theology which emphasizes the revolutionary effect of Christian hope upon the thought, institutions and conditions of life in the here and now. Jürgen Moltmann understands Christian faith essentially as hope for the future of humankind and creation as this has been promised by the God of the exodus and the resurrection of the crucified Jesus. God's promise is the compulsory force of history, awakening hope which keeps human beings unreconciled to present experience, sets them in contradistinction to prevailing natural and social powers, and makes the church the source of continual new impulses towards, in Moltmann's own words, 'the realization of righteousness, freedom and humanity in the light of the promised future that is to come'. This new expanded edition of a theological

The Coming of God
Completes the systematic theology which Moltmann began in 1980. Offers a rich discussion of belief in life after death, messianic eschatology and cosmic eschatology as advocated down history by its representatives.
Experiences of God
Hope and fear are two of the most basic human experiences. It is also possible to see them as more than human experiences, in fact as pointers towards God, and that is the approach adopted by Jurgen Moltmann in his new book. As a further step, he goes on to consider the theology of mystical experience over the long history of the Christian church. These studies are prefaced by perhaps the most interesting account of all: 'Why I am a Christian.' Here one of the best-known theologians of our age describes his life and the development of his theological thinking, and offers a personal confession of faith.

Ethics of Hope
For a time of peril, world-renowned theologian Jürgen Moltmann offers an ethical framework for the future. Moltmann has shown how hope in the future decisively reconfigures the present and shapes our understanding of central Christian convictions, from creation to New Creation. Now, in an era of unprecedented scientific advances alongside unparalleled global dangers, Moltmann has formulated his long-awaited Ethics of Hope. Building on the conviction, asserted in his Theology of Hope, that Christian existence and social matters are inextricably tied together in the political sphere, Moltmann unfolds his ethics in light of eschatology, clearly distinguishing it from prior and competing visions of Christian ethics. He then specifies his vision with an ethic of life (against the dominant ethic of death), an ethic of earth (against today’s utilitarian ethic) and an ethic of justice (against today’s social injustice and global conflicts). In the process, he applies this framework to
