This book has considerably altered the way I think of theology. There are a thousand thoughts running through my head (though at times I'm not sure I understood everything he was saying). I don't want to get sidetracked with all the positives and negatives of the book, but would like to focus on the crucial element of it all: within Christianity, God allows humanity to nail him to a cross. The implications of this statement are numerous and varied. Moltmann does an excellent job in exploring many of these implications.

I don't know if it's because some of the writers cited and expounded upon by Moltmann (particularly fellow Germans) I am unfamiliar with or it is due to translation issues or just the dense theological constructs, but a good bit of Moltmann's writing goes over my head. But plentiful are passages (and entire chapters) where I am gripped with goosebumps over the profound Christological implications and inferences that illuminate so brightly. Just like *Theology of Hope*, I so wish to reread but also eager to go on and read *The Trinity and the Kingdom* next.

Phew, his ideas are hard to follow. Or maybe it's the translation from German? Either way, great ideas, though read."
