Right up my alley. From Catherine Keller's FB post, some excerpts from this article:
"My current project – a political theology of the earth – solicits
the messianic against the sovereign in order to call the so-called
people to their power; it privileges a prophetic eco-sociality over a
Eusebian hierarachy, imperial or economic; it supports local movements
of planetary resistance to the new merger of capitalism with white male
authoritarianism.
"It does not read the earth as sovereign subject
but rather as live nexus of entanglements in which the political must
at long last begin making itself at home, in the oikos that is now
under apocalyptic siege. The time is short. But here we stand –I am
thinking here of Standing Rock today just as much as the Luther
quintecentennial—in the materiality of our relations, and demanding for
all earth-dwellers the oikonomics of economic justice and the oikumene
of a religio-cultural pluralism. Calculable impossibility is no excuse;
rather it may mark the apokalypsis, the dis/closure, of the possible.
It is the incalculable opening, Benjamin’s 'narrow door.' To an
unbounded breadth."
