I'm curious if you have any thoughts on how the 90s version of the "theology of the now" relates to the older and more explicitly theological version of it. Here, just as a random example (because this showed up in my fb feed today), is Gerhard Tersteegen (1697-1769):

Think and care in no wise about what is to come. Love and suffer in the present moment, thinking more about God and His strength than of yourself and your weakness. If increase of suffering comes, increase of grace will come also.

Do not think ahead and do not look back! Both bring unrest and are harmful to you in your present condition. The present moment must be your dwelling-place. There only can we find God and His will.
