@RobertEllsberg 1/ I'll never forget the jaw-drop on a German theologian happening upon a project I was anchoring in East Oakland, CA, some years back. "Hello," I said. "Know anything about Johann Baptist-Metz or Juergen Moltmann?" Transpired she was writing her dissertation on the two giants.

Copy of tweet and quote tweet here: 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. Quote tweet: 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?
@HumansSQ 1/ As it happens, the training and illumination of a skillset honed through years of practiced refinement in the alembic of San Quentin, proved essential to my awakening to community-based restorative justice as fundamental to functional, ‘world resurrection.' Sages abound there.
