Beschreibung
This book places Jesus in the context of an updated Derridean hauntology and spectrality, with an emphasis on the inherent plasticity of the Christian heritage. While the work engages with the recent Jesus-centered writings of Slavoj Zizek, François Laruelle, and Giorgio Agamben, it places a greater and much needed emphasis on the philosophical, theological, and cultural links between a plastic, hauntological Christian heritage and Jesus's historically evolving plural subjectivity, with the latter explored in texts of popular culture. It is transdisciplinary study of Jesus in the context of contemporary religious theory and a multi-valenced, dynamic, and plastic Christian heritage that simultaneously constructs and deconstructs Jesus's philosophical, political, and cultural centrality.
