ABSTRACT
Jürgen Moltmann is perhaps the best known living theologian in the world today. He is the most important Reformed theologian and one of the most prominent in the ecumenical context. Many theologians are equally famous in Europe, but none is more famous internationally. No one has been translated more frequently than Moltmann, and he rightly won the unofficial “World Championship in Theology” in summer 2006. He is best known for his theology of hope, which made eschatology respectable in university theology; but he is also the “godfather” of liberation theology, has made very important contributions to Trinitarian theology, and was the first modern theologian to write a large-scale work on eco-theology.
