The Time That Remains

Why it’s on the list: Agamben’s reading of Paul’s Letter to the Romans as a commentary on “messianic time” — the remnant of time that remains after the messianic event but before the end.

Where I heard about it

• Adam S. Miller — in Future Mormon, he leans on Agamben’s account of messianic time to read repentance and grace; it is the philosophical scaffolding behind his idea of “early onset postmortality.” I flagged it while reading.
