Experiences in Theology


Jurgen Motlmann (2000) Experiences in Theology: Ways and Forms of Christian Theology (English Translation by Margaret Kohl). London: SCM.
  • It's a steal at £2.50! Great SCM booksale at school!
  • This book can be regarded as the culmination of the thoughts and works of the provocative theologian who has made his name some 40 years ago with Theology of Hope (still one of my favourite theological works all through the years). It is a reflection on his own life as a theologian, and a conclusive words to his two-decade project in 'systematic contributions to theology' (he himself refuses to call it 'systematic theology') which began with The Trinity and the Kingdom of God (1980). Interestingly, he calls this book an 'introduction', an introduction which comes at the end of the series --- not an introduction to his theology but his introduction to theology (p. xxii).
  • As always, Moltmann is stimulating and provocative, full of quotable quotes.

對,我在這本書也highlight了很多地方。現在未看完,一邊讀一邊回想十年前左右在中神跟鄧紹光讀莫特曼的時光,回想起課堂時提到,莫特曼的特色之一就是最後才把隱藏在背後的方法論整理出來,想起他以具體課題為起點的特色。
