We at the Hazelnut Community Network are excited to announce the publication of a new book by our own David Benjamin Blower. It's called The Messianic Commons, and it's out on 29th November. You can preorder here and get a fiver off.
It's a book of theological sketches in holy anarchy, prayerful ecology, and messianic life at the world's margins. In DBB's own words:
“I have many good and thoughtful friends doing all kinds of wonderful things: artists, theologians, novelists, business people, government honchos, chefs, foragers, activists etc. This book came out of various gatherings and discussions. It's the product of dialogue and friendship and whisky round the fire. I’ve been struggling to give coherent form to a kind of messianic theology that has been haunting my reading of the New Testament over the last decade. This is an attempt to give articulation to that.”
“The Messianic Commons is a small funeral song for Modernity, and a sort of lucid dream toward messianic hope; to imagine the world arighted, and to faithfully embody that vision in performed anticipation of a coming Messiah.”
