Oikonomia

Oikonomia

Agamben ( The Kingdom and the Glory: For a Theological Genealogy of Economy and Government (Meridian: Crossing Aesthetics) , p. 2) is surprised that there is so little attention paid to oikonomia by theologians. He thinks he understands: “It is probably that, at least in the case of theologians, this peculiar silence is due to their embarrassment in the face of something that could only appear as a kind of pudenda origo of the Trinitarian dogma.”

To which ones wants to say: Maybe in 1850, but . . . um . . . Barth? Rahner? Pannenberg? Moltmann? Jenson? Just about everybody?? Probably not in 1850 either.
