"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."
