@mgurri 'Gurri does not go so far as to pin his hopes on a religious awakening...though, he envisages “prophets and philosophers who conceive a dramatically updated spiritual vision, with the rational and the sacred, truth and meaning, reconciled in the righteous life.”' Hear, then.

Copy of tweets here: On restoring the correspondence between God and word? In one of his last letters from prison, before the the Nazis murdered him, Bonhoeffer wrote, “The day will come when men will once more be called so to utter the word of God that the world will be changed and renewed by it...” “... It will be a new language, perhaps quite non-religious, but liberating and redeeming as was Jesus’ language; it will shock people and yet overcome them by its power.” 2 Thessalonians 2:8. James Hillman: "Words, like angels, are powers."
@Plough "...the commandment to hear aright...must be first fulfilled in order that we may then become obedient to it. The word of Jesus places one in decision, the decision of hearing aright, [whereby] one “does” the word, or of hearing falsely, in which case one “does not do” the word."

Copy of tweet here: 1/7 The hermaneutic, deeply vexing, though, isn't it? How on earth do we sensibly communicate an experience of the staggering meaningfulness and plenitude of a Depth Realm conceived and experienced only through an obedience to love turning the world upside down? (Acts 17:6) We only have the first fruits of the Kingdom in this world, but we experience enough to know that it’s the only thing that will ever satisfy us. Once we have had the truth, half-truths do not satisfy us anymore. In its light, everything else is relative, even our own life. -Rohr Ragaz: "Not only does Jesus not bring a new religion, he does not bring any religion at all. One can't make this fact clear enough. He does not want a new religion, but rather a kingdom, a new creation, a new world." Thus, "We must teach spiritual things spiritually," 1 Cor. 2:13
