[np] An open letter from Alain Badiou to Jean-Luc Nancy

[Kai Frederik Lorentzen]

Interesting, I recently read that book of Badiou too. He's identifying 
St. Paul in the spirit of 'generic communism' as the inventor of 
universalism with a big 'u'. Singling up all the lines, Badiou presents 
to us Paulus as a fore-runner of Lenin. Pretty much in the spirit of 
Ernst Bloch's "Atheismus im Christentum".

If you're interested in political readings of St. Paul, I can also 
recommend:

Giorgio Agamben: Il tempo che resta. Un commento alla Lettera ai Romani.

& especially:

Jacob Taubes: Die politische Theologie des Paulus.
