Johann-Baptist Metz and Jurgen Moltmann have been among the most influential European theologians of the past thirty years. In complementary ways they have emphasized the eschatological character of Christianity in a way that does justice both to the transcendent and this-worldly implications of the gospel. Both have tried to affirm the credibility of the Christian message in light of the horrors of modernity-the holocaust, war, misery in the third world.
