In this title, Itzhak Benyamini re-reads Paul's epistles using a
critical psychoanalytical approach in light of Jacques Lacan's
theory. For several decades, Paul's epistles have been right at the
focus of academic and philosophic debate regarding the questions
pertaining to Jewish law; love in relation to the law; the linkage
between Judaism and Christianity; and, so on. What do Paul's
writings consist of that can be used as a key for understanding
Western Culture? Itzhak Benyamini seeks to re-read Paul's epistles
using a critical psychoanalytical approach in light of Jacques
Lacan's theory, in order to find which unconscious core this text
provides us with. Benyamini examines Paul's use of Christian ritual
and concomitant authoritative evocation of the Biblical tenet Love
thy Neighbor, in order to establish a communal Christian identity,
separate from 'carnal' Judaism and idolatry alike. According to
Benyamini, Paul has founded a narcissist community of sons who
place the Son at the centre of their existence. Consequently, the
Christian Imaginary is juxtaposed as an alternative to pagan-carnal
pleasure - but also as alternative to Judaic law. Formerly the
Journal for the Study of the New Testament Supplement, a book
series that explores the many aspects of New Testament study
including historical perspectives, social-scientific and literary
theory, and theological, cultural and contextual approaches. The
Early Christianity in Context series, a part of JSNTS, examines the
birth and development of early Christianity up to the end of the
third century CE. The series places Christianity in its social,
cultural, political and economic context. European Seminar on
Christian Origins and Journal for the Study of the Historical Jesus
Supplement are also part of JSNTS.
