Description: This book provides a great synthesis of contemporary perspectives on the doctrine of creation. His description of heaven as 'the openness of the earth to God' is one of the most helpful concepts I've come across this year. His approach to anthropology and evolution is also how I would see the Christian church as a whole moving in the next 50 years or so, away from the sterile modernist debates about creationism. Moltmann also has the ability to produce the most interesting-sounding contents pages of any theologian I've ever read. I defy you to read the titles to his chapters and not want to read the whole book straightaway.
