In this bold and provocative work, French philosopher Alain Badiou
proposes a startling reinterpretation of St. Paul. For Badiou, Paul
is neither the venerable saint embalmed by Christian tradition, nor
the venomous priest execrated by philosophers like Nietzsche: he is
instead a profoundly original and still revolutionary thinker whose
invention of Christianity weaves truth and subjectivity together in
a way that continues to be relevant for us today. In this work,
Badiou argues that Paul delineates a new figure of the subject: the
bearer of a universal truth that simultaneously shatters the
strictures of Judaic Law and the conventions of the Greek Logos.
Badiou shows that the Pauline figure of the subject still harbors a
genuinely revolutionary potential today: the subject is that which
refuses to submit to the order of the world as we know it and
struggles for a new one instead.
