Sun of Righteousness, Arise!
Digital Verbum Edition
Overview
The astonishing theological creativity of Jürgen Moltmann continues in Sun of Righteousness, Arise! and proclaims a vision of the Christian future, centered in God, God’s reign, and God’s justice and righteousness.

Praise for the Print Edition
Forty years later, Moltmann’s ‘theology of hope’ still reads like a breath of fresh air, this time carried by the winds that have picked up in the meanwhile, in particular his foundational deconstruction of monotheism via a vision of the Trinitarian history of God and, more recently, his peculiarly delightful ideas about theology of nature. What is new here that holds everything together, however, is a theology of the resurrection that is Christologically focused, scientifically literate, and existentially inspiring.

Top Highlights
“The idea about perichoresis, the reciprocal indwelling, derives from the theology of the Greek fathers. With this, it becomes possible to conceive of a community without uniformity and a personhood without individualism.” (Pages 152–153)
“For me, what is distinctively Christian is the confession of Christ and belief in the resurrection. I don’t know whether all religious people believe in the same God, but I am certain that the same God believes in all human beings, whether they are religious or not, because they are the beings he has created on his beloved earth.” (Page 3)
“In the doctrine of the Trinity, perichoresis describes the reciprocal indwelling of the like-natured divine persons Father, Son and Spirit.” (Page 153)
“I was ordained in the Reformed tradition and have served as pastor in its congregations, but this tradition is my starting point, not my boundary.” (Page 2)
“It is not the empty tomb that is evidence for the resurrection. It is the message of the resurrection that is evidence for the empty tomb.” (Page 53)
