Moltmann #3 “The Crucified God”
- The theodicy question is a problem that people have with God, but they wouldn’t have this problem with Jesus. “If it weren’t for Jesus I would be an atheist like all of the people in my family”.
- Only the presence of God keeps alive the question of evil.
- Protest Hope: What is the art of hope 2 Peter 3:13sih, we weight AND hasten the coming kingdom. To wait is not to adjust to unjust conditions in the present because you know it can be changed and will be changed. So you resist conformity. To wait and to hasten is to resist and to anticipate.
- We have 2 crosses, the real cross of Golgotha and we have the false cross of Constantine’s dream.
- Atonement: First there’s a Christology of solidarity – he suffers with us. And he suffers FOR us, the guilty; the two have to be held together. Justification is forgiveness of sin AND resurrection into new life. Justification begins with the justification of the victims.
