Jürgen Moltmann Quotes

Jürgen Moltmann quote from classy quote

Totally without hope one cannot live. To live without hope is to cease to live. Hell is hopelessness. It is no accident that above the entrance to Dante's hell is the inscription: Leave behind all hope, you who enter here.

~ Jürgen Moltmann

Jürgen Moltmann Hope Life

The motive that impels modern reason to know must be described as the desire to conquer and dominate. For the Greek philosophers and the Fathers of the church, knowing meant something different: it meant knowing in wonder. By knowing or perceiving one participates in the life of the other. Here knowing does not transform the counterpart into the property of the knower; the knower does not appropriate what he knows. On the contrary, he is transformed through sympathy, becoming a participant in what he perceives.

~ Jürgen Moltmann

Being aware of God is an art and--if the term may be permitted--a noble game.

Jürgen Moltmann Eschatalogy Moltmann Quotes Theology

In the cross of Christ God is taking man dead-seriously so that he may open up for him the happy freedom of Easter. God takes upon himself the pain of negation and the God forsakenness of judgement to reconcile himself with his enemies and to give the godless fellowship with himself.~ Theology of Play, p.33

Jürgen Moltmann Christ Cross Of Christ Easter God God S Justice God S Love Reconciliation

In Christian terms, evangelization and humanization are not alternatives. Nor are the 'vertical dimension' of faith and the 'horizontal dimension' of love for one's neighbor and political change.
