Fantastic discussion, Joel. The idea of a Christian coming up alongside someone and saying, “Can I be human alongside you?”—that’s so stunning. I also love the idea of focusing on “the commonly human” versus “the specifically Christian,” and agree with Rawls. Also, your line—“The great Christian hope is that we get to be human forever”—absolutely fantastic.
