Abstract
This essay reconstructs the way in which J�rgen Moltmann tells the story of God�s
work. This is done on the basis of a review essay by Douglas Farrow who identifies
a neo-Platonic structure in Moltmann�s systematic contributions to theology. The
argument of this essay is that Moltmann fails to distinguish adequately between
creation and fall. This has significant implications for his understanding of
salvation, church and eschatological consummation. In this way theology becomes
preoccupied with the doctrine of providence and thus with the theodicy problem.
