Jurgen Moltmann quotes:

Personal, inner change without a change in circumstances and structures is an idealist illusion, as though man were only a soul and not a body as well.

In Christian terms, evangelization and humanization are not alternatives. Nor are the 'vertical dimension' of faith and the 'horizontal dimension' of love for one's neighbor and political change.

Christian hope does not promise successful days to the rich and the strong, but resurrection and life to those who must exist in the shadows of death. Success is no name of God. Righteousness is.

With every righteous action, we prepare the way for the New Earth on which righteousness will dwell. And bringing justice to those who suffer violence means to bring the light of God's future to them.

Capitalism, racism and inhuman technocracy quietly develop in their own way. The causes of misery are no longer to be found in the inner attitudes of men, but have long been institutionalized.

Americans as no one else in the Old World are looking ahead and are future-minded without the limitations of traditions and can look ahead without the burdens of the past.

To reinvent your own country you need a great audacity of hope.

The knowledge of the cross brings a conflict of interest between God who has become man and man who wishes to become God.

A change in external circumstances without inner renewal is a materialist's illusion, as though man were only a product of his social circumstance and nothing else.

The truth of human freedom lies in the love that breaks down barriers.

Judgement immobilizes, only hopeful love leaves an opening for God's alternative future.

God heals the sicknesses and the griefs by making the sicknesses and the griefs his suffering and his grief. In the image of the crucified God the sick and dying can see themselves, because in them the crucified God recognizes himself.

That is why faith, wherever it develops into hope, causes not rest but unrest, not patience but impatience.... Those who hope in Christ can no longer put up with reality as it is.

Hope is lived when it comes alive, when we go outside of ourselves and, in joy and pain take part in the lives of others.

Well, first I would ask them if they had read the Bible; then I would ask them if they had understood it.
