RT Article T1 Calvin, Althusser and the cunning of myth: What to do after the revolution JF Critical research on religion VO 4 IS 2 SP 199 OP 207 A1 Boer, Roland 1961- LA English PB Sage YR 2016 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1662785879 AB This article is a response to Matthew Sharpe, Geoff Boucher, and Rory Jeffs, concerning my Criticism of Heaven and Earth (2007-14). It replies to their critiques, especially in terms of Fredric Jameson and Louis Althusser, political myth and the question of theology itself through John Calvin. My underlying concern is the distinction between 'before October' and 'after October'; that is, the theoretical perspectives of living and working before the revolution or after it. Increasingly, my interests have turned to socialisms in power, in terms of both the problems faced and creativity induced. The remainder of the article examines the ramifications of this perspective for understanding the complex intersections of Marxism and theology.
