This is the first book devoted entirely to exploring ¿i¿ek's peculiar kind of Paulinism. It
seeks to provide a full map of the Marxist philosopher¿s interpretations of Paul and critically
engage with it. As one of several radical leftists of European critical thought ¿i¿ek embraces
the legacy of an ancient apostle in fascinating ways. This work considers ¿i¿ek's philosophical
and political readings of Paul through the lens of reception history and argues that through
this recent philosophical turn to Paul notions of the historical and philosophical are
reproduced and negotiated anew.
