Question

The contemporary world is imagined as a beggar silently asking for this virtue in a book about this virtue “when God turns his back and is silent” by a French Reformed universalist. Being given a Bible in a prisoner-of-war camp inspired a book about this virtue which is succeeded by The Crucified God in its author’s “original trilogy.” Jacques Ellul wrote a book titled for [this virtue] in a Time of Abandonment, while Marxist philosophy influenced (*) Jürgen Moltmann’s eschatologically-oriented Theology of [this virtue]. Three lines beginning “through me the way” open a nonet whose last line refers to this virtue. This virtue is the second of the three theological virtues, since Paul lists it second (-5[1])in 1 Corinthians 13:13 after pistis and before agape. For 10 points, Paul grouped faith and love with what virtue, which Dante’s Gate (10[1])of Hell commands the (10[1])damned to “abandon”? ■END■ (10[1])

ANSWER: hope [or elpis or speranza or spes or Hoffnung or espérance; accept Theology of Hope; accept Hope in a Time of Abandonment]
