Abstract

After briefly touching upon the meaning of "resonance" (H. Rosa), we turn to discuss Oliver's article "Serving God across the Divide: A Lesson from Jeremiah." We reference different fissures in our society, how they lead to feelings of outrage, apathy, and tiredness, how Jeremiah himself confronted various types of polarization, what the character of his prophetic critique might be, how it might be relevant to us, how it straddles the dialectic of critique and nurture, the way such critique is both radically honest and marked by relentless solidarity with those that might stand against us, and the kind of community Jeremiah's prophetic vision might commend.
