Status Updates From Doing Theology in the Age o...

Read the first 7 chapters so far. It’s got a few good essays (like the one about Moody) but also a lot of duds, quickly jotted polemics as academic prose.

Is the religious right postmodernism taken to the extreme: no objective reality, each person gets to define his/her own reality? I'll think about it and finish the essay tomorrow.

Chapter 12 is a helpful essay. Points out one can "appear to think" when actually just spouting your group's belief system.

Obviously the intersectional eco-norms of the ethno-morphic micromemes obviate what Elwich Nethrofrobin has called "radical co-frubrilation". But we can all agree these essays are fun to read :) . Constructivist hypergemonies notwithstanding, a reductive nonreading of latitudinal revolutionary colonialism is the ontological counterimperialism of entrenchment. And Nietzsche.

The book consists of essays by different authors. Although the book title includes the word "theology" I suspect some of the authors have little familiarity with the Bible.

Can I imagine: during a war praying for the soldiers and civilians on the -other- side as well as the soldiers and civilians on -our- side?

I thought I knew a lot about sin but this was the first time I've been asked to think about the -victims- of sin.

Typical passage:

In our trans-epistomo-post-Kantian-ethno-sphere, or in the distilled words of Mugumbo Zera Lagamawa our "iguana oven", the media-savvy marginalized eventuate existential (re)passivation. And taxonomies. (See Bandersnatch, On the Conceptual Dispersal of Anarchic Power) Or more precisely, fictive power misogynies transmute mobile fluxation. And Foucault.

Okay. I made that up. But it's close.

This book is -not- going to go out of date in January of 2021.
