The Theology of Hope
ثبت نشده
چکیده
T o LOOK SACK on our theological past is to see how much christian theologians and philosophers have neglected the exploration of hope. Charles Peguy once suggested that while her two 'sisters', love and faith, were the concern both of medieval and of reformation thought, hope has remained the neglected little sister out in the cold. What has in fact been written on hope in this century has often been affected by individualism and quietism. In the essay on hope in his Homo Viator, Gabriel Marcel analyzes hope as 'I hope in you for us'. Here the community aspect 'for us' is added almost like an incidental afterthought. Bultmann's study of hope in Kittel's theological dictionary of the New Testament is affected by a spirit of quiet trust which interprets biblical hope as a patient waiting on God.
