"Nationalist power politics is no longer interested in truth. They wage war under the guise of peace, a hybrid form of war with economic sanctions and cyber wars, fake news and lies," affirmed Prof. Dr Jrgen Moltmann at the opening of his public lecture at the headquarters of the World Council of Churches (WCC) in Geneva, 2 December 2019. The public lecture in Geneva was part of the launch of Moltmann's most recent book Hope in These Troubled Times, published by WCC Publications and, in North America, by Westminster John Knox Press. Moltmann's threefold reflection on truth in transformation in our times focused on the objectivity of science, the humanity of truth and the spirit of truth revealed by divinity.
