How I Have Changed

In June 1996, to celebrate Jurgen Moltmann’s seventieth birthday, a remarkable group of theologians, both Catholic and Protestant, gathered in Tubingen. They spent the day discussing, before a large audience, how their theology had changed or not changed over the previous thirty years. This book is a record of what they said, together with the text of a subsequent television broadcast and an assessment of the day by a distinguished journalist. The participants include: Jurgen Moltmann, his wife Elisabeth Moltmann-Wendel, Eberhard Jungel, Dorothee Solle, Johann Baptist Metz, Norbert Greinacher, Jorg Zink, Philip Potter, and Hans Kung. They cover many areas of theology, from systematic theology to feminist theology to liberation theology. They also show in a striking way how their careers were stamped by the war and the subsequent divisionof Germany, lending an amazing personal touch to their accounts. Jurgen Moltmann is Emeritus Professor of Systematic Theology in the Protestant Theological Faculty at the University of Tubingen.
