The latest issue of EMS Insights has been published. The 20-page magazine focuses on the theme “Receiving hope. Giving hope.” It can now be downloaded from the website of Evangelical Mission in Solidarity (EMS). 

Christian hope is not a vague utopia; it grows out of trust in Jesus Christ. It encourages active engagement in shaping the world and making God’s love visible. In the new issue of EMS Insights, we present people who express this hope in different ways.

100^th birthday of Jürgen Moltmann 
When Jürgen Moltmann published his Theology of Hope in 1964, he did not anticipate the global impact the book would have. It influenced, among others, the U.S. civil rights movement, liberation theology in Latin America, and Kairos theology in South Africa. On 8 April 2026, Moltmann would have turned 100 years old. EMS General Secretary Dr. Dieter Heidtmann reflects on the legacy of the influential Tübingen theologian. 

EMS Insights is available as an e-book for download on our website.
