Abstract
As a tribute to the German theologian Jürgen Moltmann, who died on 3 June 2024 in Tübingen, Germany, this issue of The Ecumenical Review is publishing a chapter from his book Hope in These Troubled Times, launched during Moltmann's last visit to the World Council of Churches in 2019. This chapter offers a critique of a theological approach that puts the human being at the centre of the relationship toward nature, an approach that has become questionable because of the ecological crisis. Instead, this chapter argues for a paradigm shift from placing the human being at the centre of the world to a cosmic integration of humanity, from the arrogance of global dominion to cosmic humbleness, from a distinction between God and the world to a mutual participation of a “world in God” and “God in the world.”
德国神学家于尔根-莫特曼(Jürgen Moltmann)于2024年6月3日在德国图宾根逝世,为向他致敬,本期《全基督教评论》(The Ecumenical Review)将刊登他的著作《动荡时代的希望》(Hope in These Troubled Times)中的一章,该书是莫特曼于2019年最后一次访问世界基督教协进会(World Council of Churches)期间推出的。这一章对将人类置于自然关系中心的神学方法进行了批判,由于生态危机,这种方法已变得值得商榷。相反,本章主张范式的转变,从将人类置于世界的中心转向人类的宇宙融合,从全球统治的傲慢转向宇宙的谦卑,从上帝与世界的区别转向 "世界在上帝之中 "和 "上帝在世界之中 "的相互参与。
