In recent decades Giorgio Agamben, Alain Badiou, and Slavoj Zizek have shown the centrality of Paul to western political and philosophical thought and made the Apostle a central figure in left-wing discourses far removed from traditional theological circles. Yet the recovery of Paul beyond Christian theology owes a great deal to the writings of the Jewish rabbi and philosopher Jacob Taubes (1923-1987).Pauline Ugliness shows how Paul became an effective tool for Taubes to position himself within European philosophical debates of the twentieth century. Drawing on Nietzsche's polemical readings of the ancient apostle as well as Freud's psychoanalysis, Taubes developed an imaginative and distinct account of political theology in confrontations with Carl Schmitt, Theodor Adorno, Hans Blumenberg, and others. In a powerful reconsideration of the apostle, Taubes contested the conventional understanding of Paul as the first Christian who broke definitively with Judaism and drained Christianity of its political potential. As a Jewish rabbi steeped in a philosophical tradition marked by European Christianity, Taubes was, on the contrary, able to emphasize Paul's Jewishness as well as the political explosiveness of his revolutionary doctrine of the cross. This book establishes Taubes's account of Paul as a turning point in the development of political theology. L land shows how Taubes identified the Pauline movement as the birth of a politics of ugliness, the invention of a revolutionary criticism of the 'beautiful' culture of the powerful that sides instead with the oppressed.

Die Beitrage liefern historisch-systematische Studien zu der seit der Jahrtausendwende intensiv diskutierten Panentheismusfrage. Gegenuber einem restriktiven oder extensiven Gebrauch des Panentheismusbegriffs wird zwischen dem dualistischen Theismus und dem monistischen Pantheismus ein mittleres Feld ausgeleuchtet. In diesem wird das Gott-Welt-Verhaltnis primar durch ein Einheit-in-Differenz-Denken bestimmt. Eine klare Kriteriologie kann dann Positionen des relationalen Theismus und des wechselseitigen, doppelt relationalen Panentheismus unterscheiden, die im Durchgang durch relevante Ansatze sondiert und exemplifiziert werden. Uber den deutschen Debattenbereich hinaus werden u.a. die Ansatze von Descartes und Spinoza, Schelling, Lotze, Bracken, Bishop/Perszyk, Clayton berucksichtigt. Mit Beitragen von Dr. Dr. Florian Baab, Dr. Jonas Erulo, Prof. Dr. Dr. Bernhard Nitsche und Dr. Dennis Stammer.
