For millennia, messianic visions of redemption have inspired men
and women to turn against unjust and oppressive orders. Yet these
very same traditions are regularly decried as antecedents to the
violent and authoritarian ideologies of modernity. Informed in
equal parts by theology and historical theory, this book offers a
provocative exploration of this double-edged legacy. Author Jayne
Svenungsson rigorously pursues a middle path between utopian
arrogance and an enervated postmodernism, assessing the impact of
Jewish and Christian theologies of history on subsequent thinkers,
and in the process identifying a web of spiritual and intellectual
motifs extending from ancient Jewish prophets to contemporary
radicals such as Giorgio Agamben and Slavoj Zizek.
