@DoloresGMorris The Last Invention from Longview. Start with episode.

@DannySlavich And, if you hadn't picked up on it yet, his name is Grace. The Hail Mary is full of grace.

[Greg Rosauer @GregRosauer]

@DannySlavich I've listened to the book maybe a dozen times over the last few years. I keep coming back to it because I keep finding layers of meaning. For example the theme of naming is very important throughout. It starts with him not remembering his own name.

@BethelSeminary Congratulations [Name]!

[Greg Rosauer @GregRosauer]

@lukeburgis Yeah, I get the idea, but I thought the penultimate chapter was better than the last one.

[Greg Rosauer @GregRosauer]

@DouthatNYT could you interview Hartmut Rosa for the interesting times podcast?

[Greg Rosauer @GregRosauer]

@FredFredSanders https://t.co/GdiPZKVZ2T
might be a good replacement, if you are so inclined.

@Digitalliturgy "How warped the mirrors where our worlds are made." ~WH Auden in 1940

This line has been lodged in my mind since 2011 and has only become more relevant.

@MadocCairns Thank you

@samueld_james We could, maybe, call it the feeling of absolute dependence.

[Greg Rosauer @GregRosauer]

@samueld_james It's interesting that Fuller, TEDS, and Gordon-Conwell basically had the same prohibitive real estate problem which made them unaffordable for many.

[Greg Rosauer @GregRosauer]

@lukeburgis Great post. I wonder if you have heard of Hartmut Rosa's work? His 2020 book The Uncontrollability of the World articulated so well the acceleration of modernity and our desire for resonance. His theory of resonance has a similarly capacious scope to Girard's mimetic theory.

@JAndrewCowan Go to Advanced Search and look under the subject tab.

[Greg Rosauer @GregRosauer]

@JAndrewCowan It is there, but it is buried.

[Greg Rosauer @GregRosauer]

@Pints_W_Aquinas @gavinortlund May I suggest Hartmut Rosa's short book, The Uncontrollability of the World, that addresses this feeling. https://t.co/evkzwVTb7T

[Greg Rosauer @GregRosauer]

@JDenHartog1776 I don't have a legal background, but I listened to @JohnInazu 's new book recently, and @whignewtons (who does have a legal background) does rec this book for your purpose. https://t.co/7fA3jfaDe9

[Greg Rosauer @GregRosauer]

@gavinortlund You should follow up Taylor with Hartmut Rosa's work. He has a pretty helpful analysis of modernity.

[Greg Rosauer @GregRosauer]

@gavinortlund Thanks for your thoughts on this history. I'd be curious to know what you think of recent revisionist attempts that challenge the Noll/Marsden/Hatch consensus of the evangelical movement. Esp. Sutton's recent article: https://t.co/SbTBllFZ3e

[Greg Rosauer @GregRosauer]

@samueld_james We can't escape the modern condition of acceleration, which entails that we can't escape the "liturgies" of the internet. The drive to do more, to be more, to have more, individually and collectively, and in every aspect of life, has been exponentially accelerated by the internet

[Greg Rosauer @GregRosauer]

@samueld_james The irony of course is that bringing the world within our reach through control, with the hope that more access will result in meaningful resonant experiences, actually results in alienation, or the muting the world.
