The Political Theology of Paul - (Cultural Memory in the Present) by Jacob Taubes (Paperback)

This highly original interpretation of Paul by Jacob Taubes is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the true potential of Romans.

Taubes's distinctive argument for the apocalyptic-revolutionary potential of Paul's text takes issue with the "political theology" advanced by conservative Catholic jurist Carl Schmitt, providing important insights into the singular experiences and views of this unconventional Jewish intellectual living in post-Holocaust Germany.

With Taubes's far-ranging lectures, readers will gain a deeper understanding of Paul's legacy and its relevance to contemporary political theology.

Don't miss out on this groundbreaking work that has been crucial for a number of interpretations of Paul and political theology, including those of Jan Assmann and Giorgio Agamben.
