@RobertEllsberg end/ No matter. Moltmann’s pivotal, global role breaking the fatality hanging over Christian messianism in the modern era is complete. 'The powers' upon these our shores can no more deny a reckoning with the eschatological proviso of planetary parousia than defy the power of God.

Copy of tweet here: #@nick_routledge 2/ His invocation, democratic. Moltmann avers: "Theology is the business of all God’s people." Moses went further, of course: "Would to God that all the Lord’s people were Prophets." The hermaneutic of @unitethepoor, then? Inclusive, universal, planetary, prophetic, interruptive.
