Offers a new systematic account of the philosophical potential of
Saint Paul's letters. Shows the present-day philosophical
importance of the letters of the founder of Christianity. Argues
that important ontological problems concerning dualism, nihilism
and the event appear in an unexpected light when read through a
Pauline lens Shows a new philosophical appraisal of the Pauline
conception of faith in terms of an art of living Offers a new
systematic approach to the intriguing present-day philosophical
turn to the Letters of Saint Paul in the works of Heidegger,
Taubes, Badiou, Agamben and Zizek Discusses how Saint Paul allows
philosophers to rethink the notions of law and community giving
rise to a new type of political philosophy The re-examination of
Saint Paul's letters in contemporary European philosophy is one of
the most important developments at the crossroads of philosophy and
theology today. In discussion with a range of authors contributing
to this movement, including Heidegger, Badiou, Agamben, and Taubes,
Gert-Jan van der Heiden offers a new and systematic account of the
philosophical potential of these letters. He does so by uncovering
a dialectic of exception, which revolves around the Pauline notions
of the outcast and the spirit. Against a general tendency to
understand the significance of Paul in politico-theological terms
alone, van der Heiden focuses on the ontological potential of Saint
Paul's letters by elucidating what they imply for our thinking
about (non-)beings, world, event, time, exception and spirit.
Ultimately, he shows how this dialectic implies a new understanding
of being and thinking and gives rise to a new art of living, both
ethically and politically.
