"GOD AND HISTORY IN JÜRGEN MOLTMANN"
by RANDALL E. OTTO*
JETS 35/3 (September 1992) 375-388

Excerpt:
It is the judgment of Jürgen Moltmann that God and history must be
conceived in dialectical relation. In this way the idea of God garnered from
history will be devoid of the philosophical prejudice that has ostensibly
plagued Christian conceptions of the Deity hitherto. Although Moltmann
purports to derive his historical orientation from the OT, this essay will
endeavor to show that he has actually imposed upon the OT a revisionist
Marxist view of history, resulting in a view of God that is alien to the OT
and that is instead the processive becoming of humanity.
