Thomas J.J. Altizer > Quotes

“Must the doctrine of the Trinity necessarily reverse apocalyptic Christianity, and not only apocalyptic Christianity but also Jesus himself, and above all reverse that Jesus who is the crucified Lord, or that Christ who is the passion of God?”
― Thomas J.J. Altizer, The Apocalyptic Trinity

“When the death of God is both known and proclaimed as an actual historical event, it is therein realized as an irreversible event, and even if crucifixion is resurrection it is no less an irreversible event, and an irreversible event which is a total event, for it is the total act of God.”
― Thomas J.J. Altizer, Genesis and Apocalypse: A Theological Voyage Toward Authentic Christianity
