| Summary: | Jürgen Moltmanns work consistently espouses a theology concerned with suffering. Of particular interest to this paper is Moltmanns development of specifically divine suffering-the suffering of God. Moltmann spends a great deal of time on the issue in several of his works, most notably in The Crucified God, The Trinity and the Kingdom, and God in Creation. Despite Moltmanns emphasis on reality as it exists and the hope God provides in this world, he is critiqued because of his lack of a social ethic. This paper argues, through ideas of Trinity and kenosis, that Moltmanns work does indeed elicit social responsibility through his concept of divine suffering.
