@NWirzba @ChristianCent 1/6 I sense Berry’s extraordinary reach lies in speaking something like Bonhoeffer’s “new language.” Christian in its deep grammar, yet rarely requiring Christianity for entry, its Christic ground becomes common ground by locating the universal within, not above, the particular.

On restoring the correspondence between God and word? In one of his last letters from prison, before 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...” end/ “... 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.” #agrariansharingnetwork https:// youtu.be/5sOSkYJLAD4
