Aaron’s Quotes

“In the sunset of dissolution, everything is illuminated by the aura of nostalgia, even the guillotine.”

“Jesus and his first followers, as Second Temple Jews, believed as well in an eschatology of new creation. This did not involve the abolition of the present world and its replacement with a totally different on. Nor did it imply the steady evolution-from-within of the Stoics, let alone the escapist 'eschatology' of the heading-for-heaven Platonists. They believed in the redemptive transformation of the present world into a new one.”
― N.T. Wright, History and Eschatology: Jesus and the Promise of Natural Theology
