An empathic God: Moltmann's cross-centered theology

The center of Christianity is an important moment in history, and all its theology and practice depend on it. Assuming Christianity is to think about what is the nature and personality of God, which requires and promotes the cross. Although classical theology sometimes despises God's thoughts with feelings and emotions, Eugen Moltmann rejects this by showing that God suffers sympathy and experiences humiliation with humans in Jesus To do. This article will begin to study the concept of the God of Maltman about suffering, in contrast to the classic notion of God's impossibility in particular.

Since Maltman exists in both the future and the present God, he is passionate about the kingdom of God. His theology is often called "God's country" theology. His theology is based on eschatology and he found hope in the resurrected Christ. This theology was explained most clearly in his book "Hope of hope". Although the theology of Maltman is also seen as the theology of liberation, it is not the most understood meaning in that word. Moltmann not only considers salvation as "a preferential choice for the poor" of Christ but also gives hope for reconciliation with people who are oppressed by the poor. Otherwise, sacred reconciliation will not be enough.

In 1967, Jürgen Moltmann developed a new hope theology in the form of a book called Hope Theology. It is strongly influenced by Carl Barth and Ernstrob. Influence of her philosophy In that book, Moltman put all his chips in the resurrection of the crucifixion of Christ. In pain, our only hope is to promise future resurgence and painful comfort. In the god on the cross (Fortress Press 1993), this theology further developed while maintaining a closer shot on the cross. There are many themes in this book. In most cases, it helps to understand where the author goes and where to begin. Although theology is tightly integrated with this book, I sometimes caused the structure of the book to be overturned, causing me to trace it to the end and lose it in some forest.
