...Church in the Power of the Spirit, by the Rev. Jürgen Moltmann (Harper & Row; 401 pages; $15). Germany is to Christian theology what France is to wine, and Moltmann, 51, a colleague of Küng's at the University of Tubingen, is one of its most eminent Protestant thinkers. Moltmann's first major work, The Theology of Hope (1964), based on the somewhat neglected promise of Christ's coming reign in a kingdom of righteousness, was a ringing call to optimism and activism during the days of "God is dead" theology.

But last week's was the first monitum against an individual theologian since 1962, when the Vatican posthumously condemned the works of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin...
...from the Enlightenment the emphasis on the Bible as a human work. Their aim was to find the historical core of Scripture by confronting it with an entire range of scientific disciplines: linguistics, archaeology, anthropology, comparative religion. There were other influences, too. Hegel's philosophy of history characterized the "Tubingen School" of criticism, which saw the New Testament as a synthesis of competing theses in early Christianity: the Jewish church centered around Peter, the Gentile church around Paul...
