Now and Not Yet

A very brief reflection from a New Zealand blogger, which I'm linking because it's got a nice Advent theme -- and because it chimes with a conversation I was having with an email correspondent who mentioned admiring U2's "healthy understanding of inaugurated eschatology and the mission of Jesus." Whenever a theologian puts U2 and eschatology in the same sentence (an emphasis I understand Ned Gorman shared at his Covenant event in St. Louis as well) you can count on me to perk right up.

On a similar topic, Hopeful Amphibian, who has recently bid farewell to blogging, did an Advent Jukebox, which among other things featured "All Along the Watchtower."
