New Critique I, p. 33 (1955)

Under the subtitle 'The eschatalogical aspect of comic time'

To be sure, cosmic time has its limiting aspect in faith and there is a temporal oder and duration in the special meaning of the latter. The modal meaning of faith, as we shall see in the second volume, is by its nature related to divine revelation. In this eschatalogical aspect of time faith groups the "eschaton" and, in general, that which is or happens beyond the limits of cosmic time. In this special sense are to be understood the "days of creation", the intitial words of the book of Genesis, the order in which regeneration precedes conversion etc.
