@CACRadicalGrace @dianabutlerbass 1/ The prophet is ‘dangerous’ because they represent an existential threat to a status quo of consensual delusion, to the very mechanism for maintaining cultural order and psychological stability, “the infrastructure of all religions and all cultures,” as Girard put it.

@BandyXLee1 And in the face of such totalizing, cultural denial, “the prophetic voice does not put people in crisis. Rather it names and makes palpable the crisis already pulsing among us...with possibility for what has been, until now, unthinkable and unsayable.” - #Brueggemann
