RT @nick_routledge: @BrianZahnd Well, of course. That said, Jürgen Moltmann, the German theologian recognized as one of most influential Christian systematic theologians of the 20th Century and, furthermore, pretty much the 'de facto' global authority on Christian eschatology and messianism, would like a word.
@RobertEllsberg 2/3 Hereabouts, I suspect few, if any, will refer to Moltmann's explicit affirmation of the American experiment as the messianic experiment of modernity. An endemic, epistemological substrate of religious and political exceptionalism dictates a form of separatist blindness to it.
