I AGREE.
Now, my stuff is supplemental, and starts off with
Rosenstock’s chiastic view of history, when end up from ‘Universal History 1954’
(www.erhfund.org) with the next thousand
years being dominated by ‘small enthusiastic groups’
But, that said, those caveats, here’s one way, not the only
way, but one way. It’s a 3-generation project, and I have people to help me.
1—God wrote books. Take JBJ’s ‘Rethinking’ 49-book Bible,
and do one book a week, Resurrection (Easter) to Resurrection. This will result
in some years having many at week 42, and other years having one book for many
weeks, ending in week 42. I call that Eliot/Anselm Time.
2—The 3 middle Cs, are put in, as extra: Confession,
Consecration, Communion.
3—The opera of each book. Use Bullinger’s and Dorsey’s
chiasms, scale the mountain/musical scale.
4—OOH! The Opera Of History. This is VERY difficult. It’s a
theodicy, and sespondeo, a Beethoben’s 5th.
B R SH T is conflated with Acts 2:42, 42 x 4.
5—12 SEGs (Small Enthusiastic Groups). In a 3-decker world
(Priest, King, Prophet and affinities), use JBJ’s Law-Lyric-Evaluation-Fact and
ERH’s Imperative-Subjective-Narrative-Objective, and cognates.
Thus: Grace of Biblical Law (Maimonides’ 613, Meyers’ 5), Comprehensive
Songs, ‘1000’ especially OOH!, Both/And Logic.
Git ‘Er Donce (atop 12-word platform), Songs of start ups,
HealthSpan, Nations as trade routes.
Covenant of Vocation (Wright’s ‘The Day the Revolution
Began) Local Online Leader, Peace Tribe, New (McCloskey, Jay Abraham, Kurzweil)
THE KEY IS GRACE OF BIBLICAL LAW
