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.
