莫爾特曼認為應該改革對上帝的概念。現代基督教的身分危機是由對上帝的概念引起，支配基督徒生存的是被釘十字架的上帝，而不是宗教、階級、種族、國家的偶像。基督教神學的核心是耶穌在十字架上受難。十字架神學應當成為三位一體神學的一部分。然而樂觀主義社會相信行動與成就，帶給人類冷漠與失望。教會應當成為基督的教會，摧毀這些偶像，宣揚受苦及被釘十字架的上帝，使人認識上帝十字架的真理，看到苦難與憂傷的意義。本文結合當前世界與教會實際情況，充分肯定上帝受難對當代神學的意義。

ABSTRACT

Moltmann held that there should be a revolution in the concept of God. The identity-crisis of Christianity is essentially a question of God. The God governing Christian existence is the one who was crucified on the cross. At the core of Christianity is the history of the man from Nazareth. Christian faith finds itself in a different God-situation. It is defined through the passion of God and the cross of Christ. A theology of the cross must become part of a trinitarian theology. The doctrine of the Trinity is a description of the God-situation on the cross of Christ. Our optimistic society believes in the idols of action and success, which leads people into apathy and despair. Our churches must become Christ’s church and destroy the idols. We must proclaim the suffering and the crucified God. We must discover the meaning of suffering and sorrow. Based on the current situations of the Chinese church and the world, this paper affirms the significance of the passion of Christ for contemporary theology.
