Blake's answer to a question put to him innocently and in a serious vein - what do you think of Jesus? - given without batting an eye: Jesus is the only God. And then, as Neville always tells it, he hastened to add: but so am I, and so are you. Neville uses it as the shortest statement of the whole doctrine, because it concedes the exclusiveness the churches insist on instead of denying it, and then extends it to everyone. In this telling it closes the argument about the name: the name Jesus is conferred at resurrection on the risen Christ, which is the power that lay latent in man, and since everyone will be resurrected everyone receives it - which is why, at the end, they looked up and there was Jesus only.
