Jesus Christ for Today's World
Jürgen Moltmann formulates necessary
questions about the significance of Jesus
the Christ for persons today. He offers a
compelling portrait of the earthly Jesus as
the divine brother in our distress and
suffering and points to the risen Christ as
the warrant for the "future in which God
will restore everything . . . and gather
everything into his kingdom." Urging that
acknowledgment of Christ and discipleship
are two sides of the same coin, Moltmann
contends that the question of Jesus Christ
for today is not just an intellectual one.
Moltmann takes fresh approaches to a number
of crucial topics: Jesus and the kingdom of
God, the passion of Christ and the pain of
God, Jesus as brother of the tortured, and
the resurrection of Christ as hope for the
world, the cosmic Christ, Jesus in Jewish-
Christian dialogue, the future of God, and
others.
