@holland_tom How about the inclusive eschatology of a 'universal' or 'planetary prophetological', as distinct from a manifestly or exclusively 'Christian' take? Abraham Joshua Heschel: "History is not a blind alley. Beyond the mystery is meaning. And the meaning is destined to be disclosed."

Copy of tweet: Adorno is authoritative in this regard: “Knowledge has no light but that shed on the world by redemption.” Likewise, Moltmann: “The messianic interpretation of the experience of the moment that ends and gathers up time is 'the redemption of the future' from the power of history.“
@Gregoresate @Joshowieblount @johnrobb Hypostasis? Second-tier fabulism, more like it, even as the frenetic paroxysm of this 'mimetic crisis' (Girard) proves central to delivering us to a sunburst of revelation overturning the tables of history itself. 'The final crisis' is, yes, a narrative crisis.
