Sublime

the focus on Jesus as a continuous human subject, born, maturing, dying.

attempting to keep the devotional and the critical together in one interpretative process:

the condemned and the court change places, the victim becomes the judge.

a divine justice, righteousness, which acts only to restore

What is at issue is simply the transaction that leads to exclusion, to the severance of any relation of reciprocity.

unity in active communication – in the conformity of the vehicle to the content of what is being shared by God.

The Lord who judges is the Lord who saves; the Lord who vindicates his oppressed witnesses also comes, in their words and hands, to save their oppressors – who are his as well.

non aliud – ‘not another thing’

the identity of Jesus as human sufferer and the further identity of that suffering with the divine action are never eclipsed in the language of Christian Scripture.
