@alessandro This aligns neatly with my priors. Maybe too neatly.
It even provides a link to an essay in #FirstThings.

#FirstThings: Just spent an amount that I would usually only spend on a book to obtain a single PDF of a scholarly article.
Good read, some interesting insights! But the biases are strong (English-only, Scopus-only) and only partially acknowledged.
One thing I won't dispute is the strong rise of CLS starting in around 2019. Founding @jcls (not included here, as not in Scopus) was both a reaction to this rise and has likely boosted CLS further.

"The longing of Christians in exile is not primarily for a physical place of security. Our longing is fulfilled when we see Jesus coming in clouds with power and glory (cf. Mark 13:26).
At no time of the Christian year do we experience our homelessness more acutely than at Advent. Holding out for Christmas, we cry out for Jesus to end our exile—to be our final home."
- Hans Boersma, "Homeless in Advent," in First Things (12/1/20)
