Agamben and theology
Dickinson, Colby
Though the work of Italian theorist Giorgio Agamben has been increasing in popularity over the last several years in the English-speaking world, little work has been done directly on the theological legacy which actually dominates the overall force of his critical analyses, a topic which has intrigued his readers since the publication of his short book on Saint Paul's 'Letter to the Romans'. Agamben and Theology intends to illuminate such a connection by examining the theologically inflected terms that have come to dominate his work over time, including the messianic, the sacred, sovere.
Abstract: Part of the "Philosophy and Theology" series that looks at major philosophers and explores their relevance to theological thought as well as the response of theology, this book deals with the work of philosopher Giorgio Agamben in relation to his own most basic theological premises and the discipline of theology.
