- This monograph is the outcome of an extended and intellectually ambitious project to re-interpret Pauline literature against materialist critiques of religion – and St Paul in particular – by Nietzsche and Freud. Research for this project involved substantial engagement with the work of several major thinkers in continental philosophy (including Deleuze, Foucault, Derrida, Lacan and Pasolini), a re-interpretation of key concepts across the corpus of Pauline literature and other early Christian writings, and an analysis of the implications of these competing interpretations of Paul in the context of the history of Western thought.
