Werner G. Jeanrond approaches hope from the perspective of a theology
of love. He distinguishes human hopes from the hope which God has
given to humanity. Jeanrond discusses the challenges of a Christian
praxis of hope in today's world and invites both a new conversation on
a future with God and a reassessment of the potential of hope for
Christian discipleship. Jeanrond argues that memory is important for
hope, and that nobody can hope for herself or himself alone. Hope thus
invites personal, communal, political and global participation and
transformation. Moreover, it gives rise to a powerful constellation of
symbolic expressions, including judgement, heaven, hell, and
purgatory, that call for ongoing interpretation. Ranging from radical
hope and the hope for salvation, to the power of judgment and
contemporary fears about the future of nations, humankind and the
world, Jeanrond's latest work offers a theological contribution to the
multireligious conversation on hope, death and the human future in our
universe.
