Slavoj Zizek's critical engagement with Christian theology goes
much further than his seminal The Fragile Absolute (2000), or his
The Puppet and the Dwarf (2003), or even his discussion with noted
theologian John Milbank in The Monstrosity of Christ (2009). His
reading of Christianity, utilising his signature elements of
Lacanian psychoanalysis and Hegelian philosophy with modern
philosophical currents, can be seen as a genuinely original
contribution to the philosophy of religion. This book focuses on
these aspects of Zizek's thought with either philosophy and
cultural theory, or Christian theology, serving as starting points
of enquiry. Written by a panel of international contributors, each
chapter teases out various strands of Zizek's thought concerning
Christianity and religion and brings them into a wider conversation
about the nature of faith. These essays show that far from being an
outright rejection of Christian thought and intellectual heritage,
Zizek's work could be seen as a perverse affirmation thereof. Thus,
what he has to say should be of direct interest to Christian
theology itself. Touching on thinkers such as Badiou, Lacan,
Chesterton and Schelling, this collection is a dynamic reading and
re-reading of Zizek's relationship to Christianity. As such,
scholars of theology, the philosophy of religion and Zizek more
generally will all find this book to be of great interest.
