In truth, I have no more than a thin grasp of the theology of either of them. But, I think they are onto something in their focus on eschatology. Some words from Moltmann might make an appearance here soon.<br /><br />To be honest, I am wary of what I take to be Moltmann's presumption of universal salvation. I'd say we need to allow more for God's freedom to judge and human freedom to reject God's love. And presumption in this area is likely no less theologically troublesome than anywhere else.<br /><br />FWIW, Wright gives a tip of the hat to both Moltmann and Pannenburg in Surprised by Joy.<br /><br />Grace and peace,<br /><br />MattMatt Gunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11230570081324464033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1692793350977058371.post-70536132100925571892011-12-01T15:53:48.960-06:002011-12-01T15:53:48.960-06:00Matt,

I find find both yours and Moltmann's views attractive.<br /><br />Peace,<br />Lee WyattLee Wyatthttp://www.godswordourwordsandtheworld.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
