Köpalternativ och tillägg
This book revisits and revises some of the most basic concepts of time in the Judeo-Christian tradition, drawing on St. Paul's writings to rethink a new kind of radical faith in truth as an event, as the advent of the incalculable, a modality that remakes the pairing religious/secular.

Product description
Recension
"Badiou introduces the reader to the notion that philosophy stands somewhere beyond the commonplace . . . [and] illustrates the way in which during [St. Paul's] time Paul decided that for God particularities such as nationality or sex are unimportant and therefore everybody is (compared to God) just a human being."--Peter Takac, Human Affairs: Postdisciplinary Humanities & Social Sciences
Från fliken på insidan
In this bold and provocative work, French philosopher Alain Badiou proposes a startling reinterpretation of St. Paul. For Badiou, Paul is neither the venerable saint embalmed by Christian tradition, nor the venomous priest execrated by philosophers like Nietzsche: he is instead a profoundly original and still revolutionary thinker whose invention of Christianity weaves truth and subjectivity together in a way that continues to be relevant for us today.
In this work, Badiou argues that Paul delineates a new figure of the subject: the bearer of a universal truth that simultaneously shatters the strictures of Judaic Law and the conventions of the Greek Logos. Badiou shows that the Pauline figure of the subject still harbors a genuinely revolutionary potential today: the subject is that which refuses to submit to the order of the world as we know it and struggles for a new one instead.

one of the best accounts of the notion of universality in the contemporary world. Also, one of the most accessible works of a great philosopher and mathematician in our time.

Neither Greek nor Jew
Granskad i Kanada den 11 januari 2010
Because of my misunderstanding of Paul's role in the development of Christianity, I had always seen him as a perverter of Christ's message, in his role in the creation of the Christian (Catholic) Church which I had always thought was not what Christ had intended. I read Jacques Maritain's work on Paul. I purchased this work with some trepidation, fearing that I might be bored by more on Paul, or become tired of French argumentation and vocabulary; however, I was greatly surprised by this book and have just spent hours reading it. As I doubt there is anything that can be called "absolutely true" in Christian historical studies, I would recommend this as an insightful interpretation of the times and events and thoughts of St Paul, and as a more accessible work than Maritain's. Interpretations of the epistles (the ones currently recognized as having been written by Paul), especially the conflict between Paul and Peter and the other Jerusalem apostles, the opposition between the Law and the revelation of the Resurrection, the question of focus on Gentile or Jew, the very important meaning of "neither Greek nor Jew", (etc) and explication of the alterations or editing of works to make Paul more conformist to the doctrines being formulated a century or two later and for inclusion in the New Testament (to oppose heresies that were coming into existence), and the 'sell-out' to the Greek mode of thought (in opposition to Paul's wishes, as revealed in the "neither Greek nor Jew" portions of his writings) make this a fascinating read. Yes, everything the 3-star rating by Tron Honto says is true. In some ways, this is a work of atheist theology, which seems to be current, with such exponents as Badiou's great buddy, Slavoj Zizek, and Andre Comte-Sponville in his "Little Book of Atheist Spirituality." But it is a worthwhile read: maybe someone who is a singularity, as was Paul of Tarsus, will come along and smash 'the matrix of global capitalism and pathetic liberal democracy' (it seems that neither Badiou nor Zizek are fans of either nor of the pudgy intellects of the bourgeois left). But, while we wait, take a look at how Christianity came about, and how it has been perverted from the message intended by Paul, and read Paul's message (which could still apply to a contemporary singularity) - as Badiou says, 'it was a revolution upon which we are still dependent.' Needless to say, I have changed my opinion of Paul, though I have not been converted. (Also of interest is mention and quick outline of Pier Paolo Pasolini's film script, set in the 1940s, of Paul's life. Interesting how Communists have been long fascinated with Christianity.)

Truth and Testimony
Granskad i USA den 14 november 2004
This book provides a very novel insight not only on Paul but on Christian theology as well. One of the most interesting reflections is the differentiation between the philosophical discourse of wisdom (Greece), the prophetic discourse of signs (Israel) and the testimony of the event (Christianity). There is no pagan conformism to the laws of the universe nor a cryptic awaiting for a promise, but an event that concerns us all in terms of placing ourselves in a place beyond the automatism of the Law, in a world of Life. The main figure is not of the prophet or the philosopher but of the apostol, the one who testifies of a universal truth where there is no difference between I and the Other. Badiou's interpretation of Saint Paul does not compromise itself with received scholastic theology where there is a continuity of God with Being (analogia entis) nor with a postmodern theology where the promise is something to be kept differing forever in order to "do justice" to the Other.
Badiou provides a universalist theory that includes the difference but where there is no difference and boundaries for the sake of the ethical. No Jew nor Greek, no men nor women, to be all to all men.
