Thanks Jim and Scott for coming to the 101 course! I had a lot of fun teaching it. (And Scott- big thanks for supporting my book. You’ll have to let me know what you think!)

Rob- I completely agree. If only we could be that far along on the road when we reach our eighties!

Derek- wish you could have been there, too! The Journey/Moltmann party bus was a sight to behold.

Danielle,

It truly was a wonderful event. This was the first conversation I attended and I was only vaguely familiar with Moltmanns work (finished The Crucified God only recently). Your enthusiasm for his work came over in the 101 and I thought it was invaluable. I immediately pre-ordered your book on Amazon. Thank you for the class.

Kind Regards,

Scott

That is really wonderful! I’m so glad for everyone who was there!

“The most compelling aspect of his theology is that he not only believes it, but lives it.” For me this has always been the most compelling reason to actually think about theology. If we’re going to live what we believe we should give it careful thought, and to be whole, integrated people we must live out of what we truly believe.

I’m so glad I found your blog!

Thanks for the inspiring report. I think I might print those five reasons an place them on my wall (my literal wall) as a reminder. It takes a entire life time to become a profound theologian?

It was a great conversation. Moltmann truly was an incredible conversation partner. Thanks too for your interesting Moltmann 101 seminar!
