For Hegel, Christianity's revolution is that God (substantial infinite) dies on the cross and is resurrected not as restored infinity but as Holy Ghost, a purely virtual entity existing only within finite human community. The only site of the infinite is finite human life; Aufhebung cancels not finite reality but God himself., illustrating Aufhebung,negation of negation,cunning of unreason
