Description: "In this analysis of the religious and political dilemmas at the end of the modern age, Jurgen Moltmann assays the vaulting dreams and colossal failures of our time. He asks how we came to this point, and he argues strenuously for Christian discipleship and public theology that take sides.

In both critical and creative ways he advances the specific relevance of Christian messianic hope to today's thorniest political, economic, and ecological questions and the deeper values contested therein."--BOOK JACKET.
