Jürgen Moltmann (b. 1926) is “without a doubt one of the three or four most widely read and influential of twentieth-century- and early-twenty-first-century theologians” (Thiselton). I recently wrote a paper that ended up exploring a bit of his eschatological...

It’s Good Friday… and Sunday is coming. I’ve long somewhat “struggled” with Good Friday because I’ve observed that many of our services tend to imply that we should pretend that the Resurrection hasn’t happened. And I get it....

I finally picked up a copy of Thiselton’s book on the Holy Spirit, The Holy Spirit: In Biblical Teaching, through the Centuries, and Today. Interestingly, Thiselton lists the Molt as one of the major theologians of this century. The more I read the Molt, the...

I’ve heard through various sources that the Molt has become a Pentecostal. I’m not sure if that’s accurate, but I do know that he and Pentecostals have been in dialogue. Since I’m currently in the midst of spending a lot of my academic time...

For today’s Fridays with the Molt, I would like to point you to something I stumbled upon. Writing about the Apostle John’s Revelation, the Molt writes, “Whom does John see? He sees the infinite, eternal God coming to the finite beings he has created...

So the holidays and being sick has totally slowed my blogging down. Plus I’ve been working on an important paper for grad school. This combination has proven difficult and challenging, but here we are, on Friday… so it’s time to hear the Molt. Have...

So it’s Friday night and I’m sitting in the passenger seat while my wife drives us to the mall so that I can buy some Christmas presents. And here I am blogging on portions of Jürgen Moltmann. I love that I can open up Logos Bible Software on my iPad and...

Jürgen Moltmann, or as I call him, “The Molt,” is an incredible theologian. He’s written a bunch of books on subjects related to systematic theology, including his classic Theology of Hope and The Crucified God. Moltman, a German reformed theologian,...
