This review is from: Theology and the Political: The New Debate (Series: SIC 5) (Paperback)
This is a solid contribution to the burgeoning intersection of the religious and the secular (post-Marxist) especially as it relates to the reemergence of political theology (after communism) and the reexamination of St. Paul in continental theory (Agamben, Badiou, Taubes, Zizek, Graham Ward et al). This volume does not ring as a manifesto--there is not enough agreement among the essays to forge such a possibility. However, insofar as atheists (Zizek/Surin/Goodchild/Critchley/Eagleton/de Vries?) join in the chorus of voices with orthodox theologians (Milbank/Blond/Cunningham/Davis/Riches/Pickstock/Schwartz/Ward) in regards to the need to think beyond capitalism, then something genuinely new has taken place. It seems like this is the new trend in the humanities that finally gets beyond the secular/religious split in a constructive way. This is a worthy text to discover for this reason alone. I highly recommend it.
