The Apocalyptic Trinity (Radical Theologies and Philosophies)

by Thomas J.J. Altizer

Here the advent of apocalypse is itself a final and a total actualization of the death of God, as only this death, or this absolute self-negation and self-emptying, makes possible a genuine apocalypse, an apocalypse in which God will be “all in all” (1 Cor 15:28).

Yes, a new cemetery is here at hand, but a genuine cemetery is a sanctuary, and a sanctuary open to the resurrection of the dead, a resurrection only possible as the consequence of an ultimate and final death.
