“The crucified Christ has become a stranger to the civil religion of the First World and to that world's Christianity.”
― Jürgen Moltmann, Way of Jesus Christ: Christology In Messianic Dimensions

“It is only as a unity in diversity that the Christian community will become an inviting community in a society which is otherwise pretty uniform. Creation is motley and diverse, and the new creation even more so.”
― Jürgen Moltmann, Source of Life: The Holy Spirit And The Theology Of Life

“Mission doesn't mean `compelling them to come in'! It is the invitation to God's future and to hope for the new creation of all things: `Behold, I am making all things new' - and you are invited to this divine future for the world! In God's Spirit you can already anticipate now this becoming-new which God will complete on his day. Once a passion for God's future
replaces a passion for the spread of the church we shall stop exporting our ugly European and American church divisions, and extending religious denominationalism instead of hope for the kingdom of God.”
― Jürgen Moltmann, Source of Life: The Holy Spirit And The Theology Of Life

“The Holy Spirit does not `proceed from the Father and the Son', as the Western church's Nicene Creed maintains. The Spirit proceeds from the Father, rests on the Son, and from the Son radiates into the world.”
― Jürgen Moltmann, Source of Life: The Holy Spirit And The Theology Of Life
