Moltmann makes his point clear from the very beginning of his work. The Theology of Hope. "Christian faith strains after the promises of the universal future of Christ.

This season he completed 249 passes, a league-leading total supported by Lombardi's fundamentalist ground game. "That's one area we improved upon this year," says Vince, "just by making them run."
