The purpose of this article is to explain Jurgen Moltmann`s theological background, his Theology of Hope, his eschatology and its relation with Reformed Life Theology. First of all, Moltmann emphasizes that the revelation of God has a character of promise that can be explained as hope. Moreover, the church with the revelation of God has to open the future to the world. Through this Moltmann points out some problems of Christian Socialist Movement, liberal theology and Existential Theology, while showing the meaning of eschatology of Holy Nations Movement. Moltmann brought the eschatology to the top in order to emphasize that Christianity is the religion of the hope. Moltmann also emphasizes that theology can not be merely a theory or a study. it should become an action which can change the reality of the world. I suggest that this matches with Reformed Life Theology. Reformed Life Theology emphasizes Holy Spirit Movement and Prayer Movement more than traditional Reformed Theology. However, Moltmann emphasizes that the reason an eschatological hope can affect to the distorted reality of the world is the presence of Holy Sprit. I suggest that Moltmann has a common with the Reformed Life Theology which emphasizes Holy Spirit Movement and Prayer Movement.
