APOCATASTASIS, a Greek word, meaning “re-establishment,” used as a technical scientific term for a return to a previous position or condition.

What else but this is that atrocity of the eternal pains of hell, which agrees so ill with the Pauline apocatastasis?

The apocatastasis is more than a mystical dream: it is a rule of action, it is a beacon beckoning us to high exploits.

And this recapitulation—ανακεφαλαιωσις, anacefaleosis—the end of the world's history and of the human race, is merely another aspect of the apocatastasis.

The apocatastasis, God's coming to be all in all, thus resolves itself into the anacefaleosis, the gathering together of all things in Christ, in Humanity—Humanity therefore being the end of creation.
