"Jesus,
Apocalyptic, and World Transformation," David B. Batstone. Theology
Today, 1993.
 | "It is often overlooked how
ideologically explosive the notion of the kingdom of God was within
Jesus' own social milieu. In first-century Palestine, it did not
have the same metaphorical and strictly religious connotation that
makes the term so safe within our own theological world. In fact, it
evoked the memory and visionary impulse of Yahweh who acts to
deliver Yahweh's 'chosen ones' from occupation and oppression at the
hands of alien nations. Intrinsic to that symbolic universe is the
conviction that the chosen suffer and the unjust prosper in the
present day only because history stands at the brink of a great
reversal." |

"Center and Circumference," Fr. Richard Rohr, 30 Good Minutes,
Chicago Sunday Evening Club, 1992.
| "People who have learned to live from their Center
where God reigns know which boundaries are worth maintaining and which can
be surrendered. Both reflect an obedience. If you want a litmus test for
truly centered people, that's it: they are always free to obey a voice
outside themselves." |
|
|
"Faith's Awkward
Question," the Rev. Barbara Crafton, 30 Good Minutes, Chicago
Sunday Evening Club, 2001.
| "The duty of
faith, the sign of membership in the kingdom of God, is that you make the
world around you more Godly, that you make the world better, and spread
love and joy where you are. It is a positive thing and not a negative
thing. Things that we do and are, rather things that we avoid and are not.
What did you do? Not, what did you not do?" |
