"This is the point at which eschatology breaks through ordinary history and becomes apocolyptic. We now enter a realm of which we have no experience, for which we have no analogy. It is futile to doubt or deny the resurrection because we have no experience of dead people rising and so no analogies for Jesus' resurrection. The apocolyptic sphere is that for which no analogies exist, the realm where radically new things happen. This explains why apocolypctic message are so often couched in strange and unparalled imagery, as in the book of Revelation."
