This highly original interpretation of Paul by the Jewish
philosopher of religion Jacob Taubes was presented in a number of
lectures held in Heidelberg toward the end of his life, and was
regarded by him as his spiritual testament. Taubes engages with
classic Paul commentators, including Karl Barth, but also situates
the Pauline text in the context of Freud, Nietzsche, Benjamin,
Adorno, Scholem, and Rosenzweig. In his distinctive argument for
the apocalyptic-revolutionary potential of Romans, Taubes also
takes issue with the political theology advanced by the
conservative Catholic jurist Carl Schmitt. Taubes's reading has
been crucial for a number of interpretations of political theology
and of Paul - including those of Jan Assmann and Giorgio Agamben -
and it belongs to a wave of fresh considerations of Paul's legacy
(Boyarin, Lyotard, Badiou, Zizek). Finally, Taubes's far-ranging
lectures provide important insights into the singular experiences
and views of this unconventional Jewish intellectual living in
post-Holocaust Germany.
