The biography of a great theologian of the 20th century - a moving life in a moving time - an engaging and entertaining book. He has shaped the history of theology in Germany after World War II like few others. No work by a living German-speaking theologian has been translated internationally as often as his. On April 8, Jürgen Moltmann celebrated his 80th birthday. This was an occasion for him to reflect on his life. In this autobiography, Jürgen Moltmann recounts his journey from his youth in Hamburg in an "alternative" family to the unfinished achievements of the present, retracing the path of his theological development and work. It is an exciting document of a vibrant contemporaneity and at the same time a humorous reflection on a life rich in experiences and encounters.
