"Massive, varied, and timely. The essays in this collection address the writings of each of these philosophers as well as addressing the writings of Paul himself and the history of scholarship-biblical, theological, political-surrounding Paulinism." -- -Dale Martin Yale University "Informative, insightful, thoughtful, and thought-provoking, 'Paul and the Philosophers' is a strongly recommended addition to academic library History of Philosophy reference collections and supplemental Christian Study reading lists." -Library Bookwatch "... this thick book is a fascinating collection, focusing on how Paul has been and is being interpreted by recent and contemporary philosophers... this volume certainly goes in the right direction and deserves close attention." -Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews

The apostle Paul has reemerged as a force on the contemporary philosophical scene. Some of the most powerful recent affirmations of nonrepresentational, materialist, and event-oriented philosophies repeat topics and tropes of the ancient apostle. Paul is appropriated both for and against Kantian cosmopolitanism, psychoanalytic models of subjectivity and power, Schmittian political theologies, Derridean messianism, political universalism, and an ongoing refashioning of identity politics within postsecular contexts. This book provides the most comprehensive constellation to date of current thinking about Paul and his cultural or philosophical “afterlives” in ancient, modern, and contemporary contexts.
