Introduction -- Continental philosophy on the messianic: Walter Benjamin, Jacques Derrida, and Giorgio Agamben -- The seed growing secretly: messianic time--creation and salvation -- The parable of the great feast: hospitality, time, and the messianic disruption -- The parable of the night watchers: to wait and watch in the time of the now -- The things within: temporality and the kingdom of God -- Conclusion.
Summary: In this study, Lynne Moss Bahr explores the concept of temporality as central to Jesus's proclamation of the Kingdom of God. 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. -- Publisher description.
