Here, in its first English   translation, Elettra Stimilli has written the only   monograph on Taubes, whose work has proved so essential to philosophical and   theological studies. Stimilli's work will hold considerable interest for   those students and scholars specialising in Saint Paul's writings. Taubes   brilliantly deconstructed these texts to reveal their more subversive and   heterodox implications and through his interlocutions with Carl Schmitt,   identified the apostle as a heretical Jew, who decided to follow Jesus. Such   original thought ushered in a new realm of political theology that has been   crucial to thinkers who work with Pauline thought today, such as Slavoj Zizek   and Alain Badiou. Stimilli's work has grown increasingly significant and her   incisive treatment of Taubes' writings will bring him to the attention of an   even wider audience. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56368676864373,"sku":"9781350104785","price":85.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781350104785","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
