Once upon a time in America, people fought and died for freedom. Those who survived sought liberty through freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of the press, and freedom to bear arms. America was built by patriots, soldiers, heroes, and immigrants who stood up for their Judeo-Christian values as set forth in the Ten Commandments. They put their faith in God, family, and country and the blessed hope of Christ's glorious return, his second coming. They came to America, land of the free and home of the brave--Beulah Land, paradise, heaven on earth, America the beautiful--to fulfil their dreams. America was and still remains Beulah Land.

The most popular source of theological hope for modern Christians is that of Jurgen Moltmann. Preachers, teachers, and lay people reflect Moltmann's influence, with their hope in a this-worldly eschatology and suffering God. However, an exclusive reliance on that hope deprives the church of crucial resources in the face of global economic, environmental, and military crises. Our Only Hope explores Moltmannian hope and considers its costs before looking elsewhere for additional contributions, from Thomas Aquinas' theological virtue of hope to nihilism and beyond, in order to encourage the church to sustain and practise hope in Jesus Christ, our only hope.
