The haunting of secular thought by the very religion it seeks to overcome may seem surprising at first, but Ward Blanton argues that this recent return by theorists to the resources of early Christianity has precedent in modern and ostensibly secularizing philosophy, from Kant to Heidegger. Displacing Christian Origins traces the current critical engagement of Agamben, Derrida, and ?i?ek, among others, back into nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century philosophers of early Christianity. By comparing these crucial moments in the modern history of philosophy with exemplars of modern biblical scholarship-David Friedrich Strauss, Adolf Deissmann, and Albert Schweitzer-Blanton offers a new way for critical theory to construe the relationship between the modern past and the biblical traditions to which we seem to be drawn once again. An innovative contribution to the intellectual history of biblical exegesis, Displacing Christian Origins will promote informed and fruitful debate between religion and philosophy. 410 0$aReligion and Postmodernism 606 $aPhilosophical theology 606 $aContinental philosophy 615 0$aPhilosophical theology. 615 0$aContinental philosophy. 676 $a270.1072 700 $aBlanton$b Ward$01705392 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817296003321 996 $aDisplacing Christian origins$94092033 997 $aUNINA
