The Shape of Shalom: Pulling God’s Future into the Now 1/6

False peace vs. true shalom: an introduction. The dominant narrative denies real suffering, whistling in the dark (“Peace, peace!” where there is no peace). The counter-narrative imagines peace that follows justice and righteousness, resulting in “quietness and trust forever,” “abiding,” “security,” “resting”… We are here relieved of the pressure of “What should we do?” and invited to divert our imaginations toward “What could the world be like?” (David Byrne, “Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens…”)
