The impact of Gilles Deleuze on critical thought in the opening
decades of the twenty-first century rivals that of Jacques Derrida
or Michel Foucault on critical thought in the closing decades of
the twentieth. The "Deleuze and..." industry is in overdrive in the
humanities, the social sciences, and beyond, busily connecting
Deleuzian philosophy to everything from literature to architecture,
metaphysics to mathematics, ethics to physics, sexuality to
technology, and ecology to theology. What of Deleuze and the Bible?
What does the Bible become when it is plugged into the Deleuzian
corpus? An immense affective assemblage, among other things. And
what does biblical criticism become in the process? A practice of
close reading that is other than interpretation and renounces the
concept of representation. Not just for those already familiar with
the work of Deleuze, the book begins with an extended introduction
to Deleuzian thought. It then proceeds to unexegetical explorations
of five successive themes: Text (how to make yourself a Bible
without Organs, and why); Body (why there are no bodies in the
Bible, and how to read them anyway); Sex (a thousand tiny sexes, a
trillion tiny Jesuses); Race (Jesus and the white faciality
machine); and Politics (democracy, despots, pandemics, ancient
prophets). Cumulatively, these explorations limn the fluid contours
of a Bible after Deleuze.
