dc.descriptionIn this volume we focus on the work of Alain Badiou and Slavoj Žižek, who (along with Georgio Agamben) are at the center of the current retrieval of Paul. These are secular philosophers who pointedly do not share Paul’s core belief in the resurrection of Christ but regard his project as centrally important for contemporary political life and reflection. The Pauline project, as they see it, is the universality of truth, the conviction (pistis) that what is true is true for everyone and that the proper role of the subject is to make that truth known, to fight the good fight on behalf of the truth, to all the ends of the earth (apostolos). They have in mind the dramatic conversion of Paul—the event!—and Paul’s subsequent dispute with the leaders of the early Jewish Christian community in Jerusalem that Christ belongs to all, that in Christ there is neither Jew nor Greek, male nor female, master nor slave, and the militant vigor with which Paul promulgated that belief across Asia Minor.en_US
