...police surveillance. Among the most recent targets is Physicist Robert Havemann, an open critic of East Germany's Communist regime. Seized late last month at his home outside East Berlin, he is being held under stringent house arrest. Another victim is a leading East German writer, Jürgen Fuchs, who disappeared without a trace after the police kidnaped him on a busy street in broad daylight...
...least a century, German and Germanic theologians have dominated Protestant thought. In the current generation, the two acknowledged theological stars are Tübingen's Jürgen Moltmann and Munich's Wolfhart Pannenberg. Moltmann, of Theology of Hope fame, has been the better known and the more popular, especially among Protestant social reformers. Pannenberg is still largely unknown outside the tight little world of religious scholars. But, says John Cobb of California's School of Theology at Claremont, he "is fairly widely recognized to have published more substantive work in theology in the past decade" than...
...CRUCIFIED GOD, by Jürgen Moltmann (Harper & Row; 346 pages; $10). Even when he was lecturing in the U.S. after publication of his Theology of Hope in 1967, this German Protestant theologian offered no vision of an easily won future: behind the hope of Christ's Resurrection, he insisted, lay the dark courage of the Crucifixion.

Learnedly and often ardently written, The Crucified...
...import prices rising twice as fast as its export prices, Denmark suffered a more than $ 1 billion balance of payments deficit in 1974. Unemployment, at a 22-year high, has cut deeply into some professions. "If you take the No. 6 bus on Thursdays," observes Architect JØrgen Andersen, 39, "it is full of architects on their way to the unemployment office." (Andersen himself will be laid off by March 1.) They are casualties of the slump in the construction industry. Other industries particularly hard hit: textiles, meat-packing and car assembly...
...black Methodist Bishop Abel Muzorewa, a steady voice for racial equality "whom Rhodesia's black people have learned to trust"; and David Du Plessis, globetrotting apostle of the fast-spreading, transdenominational Pentecostal movement. The editors reserved some of their highest praise for German Theologian Jürgen Moltmann, a Reformed thinker whom they call "the most dominant theological presence of our time." They find that Moltmann's rigorous but essentially optimistic thought (The Theology of Hope; Religion, Revolution and the Future) offers "a hope for the present and future life to victims of today's chaotic world...
