Description

"This is the kind of book that every theologian in every generation should be invited to write.... For someone who has not yet read any of Moltmann's work, this book would be a palpable way in which to begin. For a pastor or lay person who has read widely in Moltmann's corpus, this would be a worthy rehearsal of dominant themes. For the theological specialist who has read everything of Moltmann in both German and English, The Passion for Life would constitute a gentle reminder that theology exists for the sake of the congregation."
-- F. Burton Nelson, Foundations

"This book advocates a style of life for the Christian community that is properly communal, and also 'theological' in that it brings together action and reflection. Moltmann argues his right to speak as a member of 'the people' on the basis not of his place in the church but of his experience as an anonymous prisoner toward the end of World War II."
-- John L. Kater, Jr., Anglican Theological Review
