Giorgio Agamben
Giorgio Agamben
A philosopher who appears in Kyle’s wiki as the author of The Time That Remains: A Commentary on the Letter to the Romans (an anti-library entry), which reads Paul’s letter as an extended commentary on “messianic time” — “that remnant of time that remains, following the accomplishment of the messianic event but preceding the end of time.”
Adam Miller draws on that framing in Future Mormon: Agamben’s messianic time and its “remnant of time that remains” sit behind Miller’s reading of salvation as “early onset postmortality” and of ordinary repentance as asking for judgment now rather than later — dying to the world and then leaping back “to wash the dish and kiss the wife ‘in the time that remains.’”
Where this appears
