Note that my little testimonia book weaves together all these interrelated tropes with a Pauline gloss whereby a genuinely surprising “federation” or covenanted collective emerges from “the nothings” or “the nonbeings” (ta mē onta), disparate nothings knitted together into a social experience. To say that it is only in the “weakness” of a witness believed that unites them is to say that their evental emergence or consolidation differs in no respect from the self-grounding or performative strength of what we will soon hear described as interpellation. In the clinamen or parenklisis of klēsis something emerges from nothing, and Paul’s call indicates only the mysterious forcefulness of the, as it were, uncalled for organization of new community.
