Dickinson traces the development of two concepts, the messianic and
the canonical, as they circulate, interweave and contest each other
in the work of three prominent continental philosophers: Walter
Benjamin, Jacques Derrida and Giorgio Agamben, though a strong
supporting cast of Jan Assmann, Gershom Scholem, Jacob Taubes and
Paul Ricoeur, among others, also play their respective roles
throughout this study. He isolates how their various interactions
with their chosen terms reflects a good deal of what is said within
the various discourses that constitute what we have conveniently
labelled, often in mistakenly monolithic terms, as 'Theology'. By
narrowing the scope of this study to the dynamics generated
historically by these contrasting terms, he also seeks to determine
what exactly lies at the heart of theology's seemingly most
treasured object: the presentation beyond any representation, the
supposed true nucleus of all revelation and what lies behind any
search for a 'theology of immanence' today.
