A critical reconsideration of the repeated use of the biblical
letters of Paul. The letters of Paul have been used to support and
condone a host of evils over the span of more than two millennia:
racism, slavery, imperialism, misogyny, and anti-Semitism, to name
a few. Despite, or in some cases because of, this history, readers
of Paul have felt compelled to reappropriate his letters to fit
liberal or radical politics, seeking to set right the evils done in
Paul's name. Starting with the language of excrement, refuse, and
waste in Paul's letters, Profaning Paul looks at how Paul's "shit"
is recycled and reconfigured. It asks why readers, from liberal
Christians to academic biblical scholars to political theorists and
philosophers, feel compelled to make Paul into a hero, mining his
words for wisdom. Following the lead of feminist, queer, and
minoritized scholarship, Profaning Paul asks what would happen if
we stopped recycling Paul's writings. By profaning the status of
his letters as sacred texts, we might open up new avenues for
imagining political figurations to meet our current and coming
political, economic, and ecological challenges.
