Precisely, says Moltmann. What makes man's future so full of promise is not the modernist's idea of upward, evolutionary progress inherent in man but, quite simply, Christ's death and Resurrection. No matter whether the Resurrection is verifiable as a historical event; that "something" happened to give early Christians their immense hope is evidence enough. In addition, argues Moltmann, while the Resurrection may be "the sign of future hope," the cross itself-through Christ's sacrifice-means "hope to the-hopeless...

Made of vinyl-coated fiber glass, this roof is laced by restraining cables and is supported entirely by a cushion of compressed...

The world's confidence in the value of paper money is measured by the volatile free-market price of gold: the higher the price, the greater the doubts among investors as to the worth of currencies. Since, last month's upward revaluation of the West German mark, gold has dropped abruptly. From an early October level of $41.20 an oz., the price in London sank last week to as low as $37.75 an oz.
