Beschreibung
For both Maximus the Confessor (c. 580-662) and Jurgen Moltmann (b. 1926) understanding what it means to be human springs from a contemplative vision of God. This comparative study explores surprising parallels between the theological anthropology of the seventh-century Byzantine monk and the contemporary German Protestant. Bingaman shows that Maximus and Moltmann root their understanding of the human calling in their Trinitarian and christological reflection, in contrast to many modern theologies that tend to devise an account of human being first, and then try to find ways in which Christ and the Trinity are somehow relevant to this human being.
In this constructive work, Bingaman demonstrates the intrinsic connection between Maximus and Moltmann's views of human being, Christ and the Trinity, the church, and the human calling in creation. Illustrating the richness of these ancient and postmodern theologies in conversation, 'All Things New' lays out future trajectories in theological anthropology, patristic ressourcement, ecologically attuned theology and spirituality, and Orthodox-Protestant dialogue.

Rezensionen / Stimmen
"...the study is immensely successful. Those unfamiliar with the theology or either Maximus or Moltmann can find safe passage here; Bingaman is an able guide both by way of introductory descriptions and detailed analysis."-Samuel J. Youngs, Reviews in Religion and Theology, Vol. 23 Iss. 2, April 2016
"Suitable for undergraduate and graduate students' institutions with systematic theology programs interested in Maximus, Moltmann, and theological anthropology.... This is a clear introduction to the two thinkers it covers."
-Timothy Dwight Davis, Theological Book Review, Vol. 27 No.1, 2016
