Book Synopsis
Traces the critical engagement of Agamben, Derrida, and Zizek, among others, back to nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century philosophers of early Christianity. This work offers a different way for critical theory to construe the relationship between the modern past and the biblical traditions to which we seem to be drawn once again.

Trade Review
"The time is ripe for Displacing Christian Origins. Over the past two or more decades, there has been a growing interest among many biblical scholars in continental philosophy. At the same time, there seems to be growing interest among some philosophers in moving beyond simply reading biblical texts without reference to or engagement with biblical scholarship. This brings much to the table, pushing biblical scholars and philosophers to engage one another with higher levels of literacy in the other's field." - Timothy K. Beal, Case Western Reserve University"
