| Summary: | The article offers a reading of the letters of Paul in relation to their interpretation by a number of figures - Carl Schmitt, Jacob Taubes, Giorgio Agamben, and Alain Badiou. It traces the persistence of an economy of terms in Paul, in relation to the part and the whole, death and life, spirit and the flesh, and others, to argue that this economy morphs and transforms itself in the modern world, imparting and imposing a sociality of living and dying, a coercive distribution and withholding of violence in colonization, on a global scale. And this paper argues, at the same time, that the economy of terms Paul's letters advance is interrupted, that it comes undone, and that, in this coming undone, the theological becomes poetic - that the letters if Paul teach us to read what may be called poetic theology. |
