- W904598340 abstract "This article explores how Paul Ricoeur's interpretation theory of a hermeneutic of imagination makes possible the healing and reconciling modes of being in the world that Jurgen Moltmann's theology of hope proposes. It describes how Moltmann's theology calls the Christian to embrace the kingdom of God neither as opium from nor as a of the status quo. Instead, he argues that Christians are to anticipate the coming kingdom by meeting it in the present through healing and hopeful acts of discipleship in community with Christ. The article then argues that applying Ricoeur's interpretive theory to this but yet position of healing hope can help the Christian navigate its dialogical tensions. It describes Ricoeur's theory that it is through a hermeneutic of imagination which struggles with the constant extremes of ideology and utopia that the community can interact with and interpret the event of the incarnation. It concludes that this imaginative act of ever interpreting the ongoing event of the Word being made flesh allows one to embrace the eschatological hope of the kingdom of God that offers reconciliation and healing.In a world caught up in pain and suffering, full of broken relationships that yearn for reconciliation, people expect their belief system to speak into the reality of their experiences. For Christians especially, to talk about a God who created the world requires that one address only the pain present in that world, but how one can have transformative hope in response to it. Yet despite this felt need for present hope, various theological systems call people to alternately work for simply a humanistic hope in the present or to bracket-off hope into the nostalgic past or dreamed of future. Subsequently, some look to science and progress to save humankind. Some assign a perfect understanding of God to those writing in the first, third, or sixteenth (or seventeenth) centuries and consequently attempt to confine the church to those eras. Some consign hope to idealized version of the church and therefore refrain from disturbing the world with the transforming power of hope. Others, like Reinhold Niebuhr, wistfully refer to the realized hope of the kingdom of God as an impossibility in history and always beyond every historical achievement even as they endeavor to cling to that very hope.1 Consequently, although it is popular to talk about hope, it can be rare to find transcendent hope embraced in Christian theology today.Jurgen Moltmann therefore offered a revolutionary perspective in his Theology of Hope. In it he sought to embrace the mystery of a God who is both transcendent and immanent and whose solidarity with the suffering as demonstrated on the cross offers the promise of a future hope that makes possible transformative hope in the present. Yet paradoxical mysteries and the absurd logic of hope are difficult for those trained in the positivism of the post-Enlightenment world to embrace. Thus Moltmanns theology is often read as supporting traditional categories that restrict hope of redemption and reconciliation into the extremes of already or not yet. To rescue Moltmann s offerings regarding hope from those extremes requires approach to faith that allows one to five with such paradoxes without constantly feeling the need to tame them into manageable forms. In short, one must shift away from rationalistic conceptions of knowledge that impose arbitrary categories on truth and embrace the potential of poetic truths to imagine transcendent possibilities. Given that Paul Ricoeur s work serves to suggest how such epistemological shift is possible, this article explores how application of Paul Ricoeur s interpretation theory of a hermeneutic of imagination provides the philosophical framework for embracing Moltmanns theology. In Ricoeur s system, if one interprets one's faith by imaginatively living into its ongoing narrative and accepting the modes of being in the world that it proposes to the faithful, one is then able to navigate the tensions of its paradoxical extremes. …" @default.
