Moltmann Conversation

In what has become the hallmark event of Emergent Village, JoPa Productions is thrilled to welcome Jürgen Moltmann as the dialogue partner for the 2009 Emergent Theological Conversation. Moltmann, one of the premier theologians of the 20th century, is known as the “theologian of hope.” This will be a unique opportunity to sit in conversation with a renowned theologian who has shaped the theological landscape.

Since 2000, Emergent Village has facilitated an annual gathering of intimate conversation with some of the leading thinkers in theology and philosophy. Past interlocuters have included Nancey Murphy, Dallas Willard, Stanley Hauerwas, Walter Brueggemann, Miroslav Volf, John Caputo, and Richard Kearney. In each case, an academic luminary is put into conversation with pastors – no notes, no papers delivered, no formality – simply a conversation about things that matter.

Meeting September 9-11 in the Chicago area, and limited to 300 participants, the 2009 conversation with Jürgen Moltmann promises to continue this tradition of intriguing dialogue at the nexus of pastoral leadership and academic theology.
