@Fitzthewriter Timely, your wondrous unveiling. As dragon-slayer, this prophetological prototype represents a planetary-saving arrival of righteousness, rectification and salvation; the resurrective simultaneity of spiritual and world renewal; the concrete fulfillment of the Abrahamic covenant.

Copy of two-tweet thread, here:

Is it any wonder then that St. George (or the Eliatic figure of Khezr as he's known in Islam) represents a common, universal, trans-historical, trans-cultural, prophetic prototype, and his dragon-slaying, a liberating, evolutionary turn within total, planetary experience?

@EsmeLKPartridge @TheTLS Here we go, Esmé, circling back to Khezr again! Meanwhile, the Church's conception of the Eliatic function remains strikingly threadbare relative to, say, other traditions - an oversight deriving, in part, from a hermeneutic more fully focused upon the First Coming than Second.

Copy of tweet here:

Perennialism, a vast field of scholarship and, crucially, orthopraxis, with Christians, frankly, a tad slow out of the gates. Few, say, are familiar with the emergent or supersessive principle of an inclusive eschatology actualized in the 'planetary prophetological' encounter.

Quoted by@unherd @arisroussinos Sorry, who was that who's downstream, again?Quoted by#StGeorgesDay Who then is George or Khezr as he's known in Islam? Some kind of weird mystical trickster? Not at all. He stands for something essential and ordinary about us. A natural aspect of being with life where the worldly and spiritual, earthly and celestial, mix and match.
