If we allow Blake's apocalyptic vision to stand witness to a radical Christian faith, there are at least seven points from within this perspective at which we can discern the uniqueness of Christianity: (1) a realization of the centrality of the fall and of the totality of fallenness throughout the cosmos; (2) the fall
in this sense can not be known as a negative or finally illusory reality, for it is a process or movement that is absolutely real while yet being paradoxically identical with the process of redemption; and this because (3) faith,
in its Christian expression, must finally know the cosmos as a kenotic and historical process of the Godhead's becoming incarnate
in the concrete contingency of time and space; (4) insofar as this kenotic process becomes consummated
in death, Christianity must celebrate death as the path to regeneration; (5) so likewise the ultimate salvation that will be effected
by the triumph of the Kingdom of God can take place only through a final cosmic reversal; (6) nevertheless, the future Eschaton that is promised
by Christianity is not a
repetition of the primordial beginning, but is a new and final paradise
in which God will have become all
in all; and (7) faith,
in this apocalyptic sense, knows that God's Kingdom is already dawning, that it is present
in the words and person of Jesus, and that only Jesus is the «Universal Humanity,» the final coming together of God and man.
