^{page 143 note 3} There are other differences and difficulties, for example, the theology of the Cross, the resurrection of the dead (as something to be compared with God's creating the world ex nihilo), the justification of the godless. In his Chicago paper Moltmann points out how by hoping in God who creates what is new out of nothing, a novum ex nihilo, Christian belief goes beyond the hope of Bloch who looks for the new from what has not yet come to be.
