莫尔特曼《被钉十字架的上帝》对《狱中书简》的引用

Moltmann’s Quotation of Letters and Papers from Prison in The Crucified God

一、引言当代德国神学家莫尔特曼(Jürgen Moltmann,1926-)在1972年出版了《被钉十字架的上帝》(The Crucified God),被誉为“十字架神学”的划时代著作,与其于1964年出版的《盼望神学》(Theology of Hope)齐名。这两本著作共同构成了莫尔特曼对基督事件(Christ event)的了解。前者的焦点为耶稣基督的十字架,后者的焦点则为他的复活,两者以辩证的方式连接起来。

This paper aims to identify the similarity between Jürgen Moltmann(1926-)and Dietrich Bonhoeffer(1906-1945)by focusing on their understandings of the theology of the Cross in The Crucified God and Letters and Papers from Prison respectively.By reading of the two works side by side,this study seeks to clarify in what sense Moltmann employs Bonhoeffer’s theology of the Cross and in what sense he goes beyond Bonhoeffer.Other related writings are used when it is necessary.Moltmann consistently emphasizes Jesus Christ on the cross as the God for others.This viewpoint,the paper submits,is significantly influenced by Bonhoeffers,the theology of the Cross for others.However,Moltmann’s theology of the Cross is Trinitarian and eschatological while Bonhoeffer’s is incarnational.It follows that Moltmann’s understanding of human being and church community will not merely be a kind of“suffering for others”but also“for others in the eschatological hope.”
