In this deeply personal and daring meditation, eminent theologian
Jürgen Moltmann challenges many closely held beliefs about the
experience of dying, the nature of death, and the hope of eternal
life. Moving deftly between biblical, theological, and existential
domains, Moltmann argues that while we know intimately the experience
of dying--both our loved ones' dying and, ultimately, our own--death
itself is a mystery. Are those who have died in fact dead? If the dead
are alive, how or in what respect? When the dead awaken to eternal
life, who wakes? Moltmann's interrogations yield surprising and
beautiful fruits. The living soul that awakens to eternal life is not
a ghost in a machine, but the Lebensgestalt, the shape and story of a
life, its human and divine contexts, its "whole." Drawing on themes
from his oeuvre's entire arc, Resurrected to Eternal Life testifies to
the inner unity of Moltmann's theology: the cross, the Spirit, the
kingdom, the end, and the hope that makes the end present here and
now. Seasoned readers of Moltmann will find in these pages a capstone
of a lifetime of theological exploration, while those new to his
complex thought will find a concise and elegant entry point into his
voluminous work.
