Anastasic

Early depictions were anastasic, the empty cross symbolizing the resurrection and hiding the manner of Jesus' death.

The event to which Paul is faithful (“subject to” and a loving “subject of”) is in fact a scissiparous one, at once anastasic and apocalyptic, incarnate and excarnate, physical and metaphysical, now-here and no-where (topos and outopos).

Universality has its provenance in the absolute singularity of this death-destroying anastasic moment at the impossible interface between time and eternity.
