To answer my own challenge in the comments of my recent commentary on the historical syllogism of St. Augustine, I am reminded that The Theology of History in St. Bonaventure by then Joseph Ratzinger gives a model of a pious dilation of the final era (I won't say epoch, so as not to suggest I have any sense of "epochality") of history. Perhaps it is time for me to dust off the old Hexaemeron.
Let me also admit at this point that the reason that I have only vaguely sketched the connection between the historical syllogism and the theology of history is simply that I have only a vague notion of this connection.
