Jurgen Moltmann's Ethics of Hope

Understand ethics from a Christian perspective and their application to issues of poverty and global economics. Jurgen Moltmann relates Jesus' description of 'the Kingdom of God' to Christian doctrines of the resurrection, Trinity and Holy Spirit and how this contributes to human moral action.

'Ethics of Hope' is a thorough going account of human moral action. Jurgen Moltmann examines God's role as promise-giver, the Christian understanding of resurrection and their occupancy of both history and space in moral terms. This leads to an understanding of Jesus' description of 'the Kingdom of God' which impacts strongly on the Christian conception of both the possibility and content of human moral action.

By offering an account of each of the main doctrines found in Moltmann's corpus - the role of the future, the Trinity, the Holy Spirit, and anthropology - this book describes how each contributes to the understanding of ethics from a Christian perspective and subsequently applies these findings to the contemporary issue of poverty and global economics.
