  • Political Myth

    Roland Boer, Creston Davis et al.BOOKPolitical Myth2020

    In this provocative and necessary work, Roland Boer, a leading biblical scholar and cultural theorist, develops a political myth for the Left: a powerful narrative to be harnessed in support of progressive policy. Boer focuses on foundational stories in the Hexateuch, the first six books of the Bible, from Genesis through Joshua. He contends that the "primal story" that runs from Creation, through the Exodus, and to the Promised Land is a complex…

  • Freedom Not Yet

    Kenneth Surin, Creston Davis et al.BOOKFreedom Not Yet2020

    The neoliberal project in the West has created an increasingly polarized and impoverished world, to the point that the vast majority of its citizens require liberation from their present socioeconomic circumstances. The marxist theorist Kenneth Surin contends that innovation and change at the level of the political must occur in order to achieve this liberation, and for this endeavor marxist theory and philosophy are indispensable. In Freedom Not…

  • The Monstrosity of Christ

    Slavoj Žižek, John Milbank et al.BOOKThe monstrosity of Christ2011

    What matters is not so much that Zizek is endorsing a demythologized, disenchanted Christianity without transcendence, as that he is offering in the end (despite what he sometimes claims) a heterodox version of Christian belief.--John MilbankTo put it even more bluntly, my claim is that it is Milbank who is effectively guilty of heterodoxy, ultimately of a regression to paganism: in my atheism, I am more Christian than Milbank.--Slavoj ZizekIn th…

  • Theology of Money

    Philip Goodchild, Creston Davis et al.BOOKTheology of Money2009

    Theology of Money is a philosophical inquiry into the nature and role of money in the contemporary world. Philip Goodchild reveals the significance of money as a dynamic social force by arguing that under its influence, moral evaluation is subordinated to economic valuation, which is essentially abstract and anarchic. His rigorous inquiry opens into a complex analysis of political economy, encompassing markets and capital, banks and the state, cl…

  • Revolution and Revelation

    Open AccessCreston DavisARTICLERethinking Marxism2007Referencias: 1

    With the breakdown of contemporary philosophy that sunders philosophy from praxis, it becomes increasingly clear that we must seek new ways of relating materialism and idealism. This essay examines how a Marxist notion of revolution and materialism can relate to religious forms of revelation in such a way as to provide new models for a political theology that is not wedded to either the institutional church or the nation-state. I show that the fi…

    Open AccessRowan Williams, Slavoj Žižek et al.BOOKTheology and the Political2005

    The essays in Theology and the Political —written by some of the world’s foremost theologians, philosophers, and literary critics—analyze the ethics and consequences of human action. They explore the spiritual dimensions of ontology, considering the relationship between ontology and the political in light of the thought of figures ranging from Plato to Marx, Levinas to Derrida, and Augustine to Lacan. Together, the contributors challenge the beli…
