Description
Summary:The present time can be characterized as an era of multiple crises (polycrisis). This article outlines the basic features of a theology of crisis. In contrast to the conventional crisis rhetoric, a theology of crisis seeks a distinctly theological approach to experiences of crisis, following the path of Dialectical Theology with reference to the biblical concept of the crisis of God. This concept is grounded both in creation theology and in christology – articularly in the theology of incarnation and the theology of the cross. In light of the crisis of God, the idea of God’s omnipotence must also be reinterpreted. Finally, as will be shown, a theology of crisis understood from an eschatological perspective is a theology of waiting.
