Description: This book draws the work of Slavoj Zizek into conversation with the Christian mystical theological tradition in order to propose a materialist account of Christian identity as constituted by failure.
Brief description: Marika Rose is Lecturer in Philosophical Theology at the University of Winchester.
Review Quotes: This is the best work I have ever read on Zizek in relation to theology, maybe the best such work possible. Rose's prose style is clear and engaging, and her project significantly advances our understanding of Christian apophaticism, of Zizek's project, and of the potential future stakes of theology for a secular world.---Adam Kotsko, author of Neoliberalism's Demons: On the Political Theology of Late Capital
