Tweet: More than a new voice, we need theology as ontic rupture—America interrogated by God. Not from paper citadels but from the republic’s cracked soil where faith meets revolution and history bends to its hidden telos. Not rhetoric but eschatology—the Word that reconstitutes reality. 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. I believe that some people will have doubts here because in the future the liberation is not going to be ours; it will be other people who want to liberate themselves – have to liberate themselves – from *us*. A powerful, double resonance in this with Moltmann's emphatically US-centric take on "the messianic myth of the redeemer nation of the End-time," and also of messianic hope as "never the hope of the victors and the rulers [but] always the hope of the defeated & the ground down." "In truth American nationalism is constituted by many peoples from many places of origin with all kinds of ethnic and national rootage. We are indeed, historically and practically, a mixed company clustered as a unity by a summons to “a more perfect union” that overrides and transcends all of our cherished particularities.” Walter Brueggemann "Another kind of political fulfillment of the millenarian hope is the idea of the nation whose destiny, according to God’s salvific plan, is the redemption of the world. What has to be taken seriously is the USA’s strange millenarian mythology because it has a genuine basis." 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. Quote tweet: 11/ This is where eschatological hope takes on flesh. Ecological convergence becomes the ground of spiritual convergence. The future is not debated; it’s cultivated. This is the labor of cultural–spiritual evolution: differences metabolized into a higher relational ecology.
