{"product_id":"9780804744713","title":"Saint Paul","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this bold and provocative work, French philosopher Alain Badiou proposes a startling reinterpretation of St. Paul. For Badiou, Paul is neither the venerable saint embalmed by Christian tradition, nor the venomous priest execrated by philosophers like Nietzsche: he is instead a profoundly original and still revolutionary thinker whose invention of Christianity weaves truth and subjectivity together in a way that continues to be relevant for us today.    In this work, Badiou argues that Paul delineates a new figure of the subject: the bearer of a universal truth that simultaneously shatters the strictures of Judaic Law and the conventions of the Greek Logos. Badiou shows that the Pauline figure of the subject still harbors a genuinely revolutionary potential today: the subject is that which refuses to submit to the order of the world as we know it and struggles for a new one instead.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"STANFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51871092179218,"sku":"9780804744713","price":48.43,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/3093\/4173\/files\/9780804744713.jpg?v=1774736536","url":"https:\/\/bargainbooks.com.au\/products\/9780804744713","provider":"Bargain Books Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
