Includes bibliographical references and indexes.
Jacob Taubes radically changed our conceptions of Paul the apostle. Loland shows how we can approach Paul's letters with the distinctive perspective of this Jewish rabbi steeped in continental philosophy. The book emphasizes Paul's Jewishness as well as the political explosiveness of the apostle's revolutionary doctrine of the cross, which the author terms Pauline Ugliness.
The Historical and the Philosophical: A Contemporary Scene -- Jacob Taubes' Path to Paul: From the Eschatologist to the Paulinist -- Paul and Philosophy: Taubes' Contradictory Paul -- Paul as Predecessor to Psychoanalysis: Taubes' Introspective Paul -- Paul against Empire: Taubes' Political Paul.
