@AimeTim What first led me to Continental theology was a Christian dialectic of negation, the preposterous dearth of 'serious theology' relating to a messianic politics to come, where Moltmann and Baptist-Metz kept surfacing in my field of view as responsible to the reality of the Shoah.

@davidrieff @nils_gilman Thank you. I'll follow the Eagleton lead. Messianology, a tough sell, of course, especially in theological circles, where it's effectively dismissed as but "the hobby of religious cranks." (Moltmann) By 'metaphysical', I presume you mean reality-based, unmediated, non-religious?
