| This interpretive ultimacy is most appropriate for the Sundays of Easter (not merely in, as with Advent and Lent, or after, as with Christmas, Epiphany, and Pentecost). These encompass nearly everything except the proverbial kitchen sink: scriptures (1) and dogma; "spiritual addiction" to apocalyptic visions; poverty, national humiliation, failed governance; (2) emasculation and sexual frustration; (3) equation of ultimacy with absoluteness; (4) cognitive dissonance arising when claims to absolute truth are not born out in reality; (5) the linking of religious claims with national or ethnic goals (6) and of course, the type of god one worships. Logically, then, Christians who insisted on the adequacy and ultimacy of the particular revelation of Christ found in the New Testament, by that very fact automatically showed themselves to be unenlightened. |
