quotes of the apocalypse

As a literary genre, "apocalyptic" is a way of investing space-time events with their theological significance; it is actually a way of affirming, not denying, the vital importance of the present continuing space-time order, by denying that evil has the last word in it.


N. T. Wright, The New Testament and the People of God (Minneapolis: Fortress Press, 1996).
