Job by Léon Bonnat
God responds to Job out of the whirlwind, Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? (Job 38:4). In Ronald E. Osborn's book Death Before The Fall: Biblical Literalism and the Problem of Animal Suffering, Osborn asks whether God is irritated with Job questioning, and answers with a […]
Wolfhart Pannenberg on Two Kingdoms vs Barmen Declaration (July 8, 2014)
Wolfhart Pannenberg
If anything is distinctively Lutheran, is it the Two Kingdoms political theology. It's not only Lutheran, but strongly advocated by many Reformed theologians today, especially in a town named, Escondido.

Jürgen Moltmann's political theology book, On Human Dignity: Political Theology and Ethics, contains a chapter on "America as Dream" that is appropriate to share since today is Independence Day.

Jurgen Moltmann's "Ethics of Hope"

Karl Barth
Karl Barth and Jürgen Moltmann had a very famous correspondence of letters in the 1960's. Unfortunately, many only read Barth's response to Moltmann without correct context and conclude that Barth sent Moltmann only a scathing letter of rejection, and this couldn't be farther from the truth. The following letters are […]

Moïse Amyraut (1596 – 1664) was a Huguenot, as my own ancestors were as well, and this name means French Calvinist. Moses Amyraut was of the school of Saumer, and this man is interesting because of his modified Calvinism, that allowed for Hypothetical Universalism and hence became the eponymous founder of Amyrauldism.

A Letter from Jürgen Moltmann (January 9, 2014)
I wrote a letter to Jürgen Moltmann, after I received his address from the yahoo Moltmann discussion group. I asked him the following two questions, and then received this response.
Question #1 Pastorally, how do I apply the Crucified God when ministering to people who are suffering? They ask me how they […]
I'm mezmerized by the 2009 Emergent Village Theological Conversation with Jürgen Moltmann. I've been re-listening to them, after they were re-published on Tony Jones' blog. One of the most memorable moments was Moltmann's theological method, which he explains based on the contrast between the Women Around Jesus who were preachers of […]
Jürgen Moltmann On The Lausanne Covenant and Atheism. (January 14, 2013)
Jurgen Moltmann's "The Coming of God: Christian Eschatology"
Jürgen Moltmann's critique of mainline evangelicalism's explanation of justification demonstrates a serious problem with common presentations of the gospel. If salvation ultimately comes down to a person's decision according to their own free will, then how is this explanation any different than Atheism? It excludes any […]
