Reading Derrida/thinking Paul On Justice

" This remarkably fine book is timely and provocative. It is also one of a kind: a book that advances detailed exegesis of the New Testament, above all Paul' s Letter to the Romans, by drawing deeply on Derrida' s reflections concerned with justice and law, gift or grace, debt, duty, love, hospitality, and forgiveness." -- Peggy Kamuf, University of Southern California " Reading Derrida/Thinking Paul: On Justice yields new insights into the ethical and political stakes of Derrida's writings. Jennings shows Derrida and Paul to share a passion for justice and for thinking through the aporias justice' s pursuit entails. Jennings' chapters skillfully juxtapose Paul and Derrida on law, violence, gift, faith, hospitality, and pardon. A book-length study of Derrida in relation to Paul is long overdue, and, after reading Jennings' text, reconsidering Derrida's and Paul's implications for contemporary dilemmas of justice becomes a must." -- Robert S.
