In this book, he brilliantly situates Jacob Taubes between Hegel and Malabou to create an apocalyptic political theology. Anyone interested in these topics or figures has to read this book! -- Clayton Crockett, Professor and Director of Religious Studies, University of Central Arkansas, USA\u003cbr\u003eThomas Lynch conducts an orchestra of Continental philosophers and theorists in order to push forward discussions of political theology. With an expansive knowledge of the most exciting conversations in the field, Lynch clarifies the nettlesome concept of apocalypticism while also demonstrating its importance for getting political theology right. Lynch’s work will help us think more carefully about hope and pessimism, the end of the world and the start of new worlds. -- Vincent Lloyd, Associate Professor of Theology and Religious Studies, Villanova University, USA\u003cbr\u003eIf the divisions of nature, capital, gender and race constitute this world, what does it mean to think the end of the world today?
