"Only now is it clear just how radically Cullmann's linear view of time affects his whole outlook on the New Testament. For him, New Testament eschatology is more a matter of time categories than of a person. That is why he finds it so easy to fit Jesus into a series of things which must happen. Jesus and his kingdom are only one more step toward a consummation which draws ever nearer, as a certain new things happen."
Adrio Konig, The Eclipse of Christ in Eschatology, p. 110
