The Journal for Cultural and Religious Theory has posted a new issue, including an article of mine entitled “Politics and Perversion: Situating Zizek’s Paul” [pdf].
The article is an expanded and clarified version of an SBL presentation I gave in 2006, which I revised thoroughly just before starting work on Zizek and Theology around this time last year. It is in fundamental agreement with my conclusions in the book — in fact, I was tempted to cannibalize the essay for my chapter on Zizek’s works on Christianity, but ultimately did not — but comes at things from a different direction, most notably in its extended treatment of Badiou’s reading of Paul.
Other highlights of the issue include a review of Clayton Crockett’s Interstices of the Sublime, together with Crockett’s response.
