"Nothing appears stranger to us today than apocalyptism. The liberal majority dismisses it as a pathological response to the deadlocks of capitalist modernisation, a sign of the total failure of our “cognitive mapping” of social reality. Yet nothing is a deeper mystery than apocalypse, despite the fact that ours is so clearly an apocalyptic time—the deepest and most comprehensively apocalyptic time in history. What is difficult to grasp is that apocalypse is not merely the catastrophe of creatures: ultimately, apocalypse is the apocalypse of God."
