    • 2005 September, Rita Nakashima Brock, “Communities of the Cross: Christa and the Communal Nature of Redemption”, in Feminist Theology, volume 14, number 1:

    • 2008 Autumn, Dan Mellamphy, Nandita Biswas Mellamphy, “Paulitics”, in Symposium, volume 12, number 2:
      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).
    • 2015, Carl Raschke, Force of God: Political Theology and the Crisis of Liberal Democracy, →ISBN:
      Universality has its provenance in the absolute singularity of this death-destroying anastasic moment at the impossible interface between time and eternity.
