- A Theology of Failure is a longer-form output (monograph) drawing together into extended and complex analysis a number of key areas of research in theology and philosophy of religion. The book engages in depth with contemporary scholarship on Dionysius the Areopagite, Slavoj Žižek and several key areas of continental philosophy of religion. The book was based on research conducted over several years, and investigates various key themes including the reception of apophatic theology in contemporary continental philosophy; the death drive in Freud, Lacan and Žižek; phenomenological discussions of the gift and violence and philosophical and theological accounts of trauma.
