Using insights from continental philosophy on the messianic, which expose the false claim that time progresses in a linear continuum, Bahr presents these philosophical positions in critical dialogue with the sayings of Jesus regarding time and time's fulfillment. She shows how the Kingdom represents the possibilities of a disruption in time, one that reveals the intrinsic relation between God and humanity.   In illustrating how Jesus's sayings regarding time are thus expressions of his messianic identityas of the world and not of the world--Bahr argues that the meaning of Jesus's identity as Messiah is embedded in the disjuncture of time, in the impossibility of now, from which the Kingdom comes . Bahr's use of critical theory in this study  expands the concept of God's Kingdom beyond the traditional confines of the discipline.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e[Bahr's] philosophical interpretations of Jesus’ parables are striking. * Annali di Storia dell’Esegesi *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments Abbreviations Chapter 1 - Introduction  Chapter 2 - Continental Philosophy on the Messianic\u003ci\u003e: Walter Benjamin, Jacques Derrida, and Giorgio Agamben\u003c\/i\u003e  Chapter 3 - The Seed Growing Secretly\u003ci\u003e: Messianic Time—Creation and Salvation\u003c\/i\u003e  Chapter 4 - The Parable of the Great Feast\u003ci\u003e: Hospitality, Time, and the Messianic Disruption\u003c\/i\u003e  Chapter 5 - The Parable of the Night Watchers\u003ci\u003e: To Wait and Watch in the Time of the Now\u003c\/i\u003e  Chapter 6 - The Things Within\u003ci\u003e: Temporality and the Kingdom of God\u003c\/i\u003e  Chapter 7 - Conclusion  Bibliography Index","brand":"Bloomsbury USA 3pl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51018299867479,"sku":"9780567695222","price":31.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780567695222.jpg?v=1750776352","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-time-is-fulfilled-9780567695222","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
