Book Synopsis
The sublime refers to a conflict of the Kantian faculties of reason and imagination, and involves the attempt to represent what is intrinsically unrepresentable. Through topics such as sublimation, schizophrenia, God, and creation ex nihilo, this book contributes to a form of radical theological thinking that is involved in the world.

Trade Review
"... [A] high quality and novel contribution." -Reviews in Religion and Theology "Draws on psychoanalytic theory and Continental philosophy to develop a radical postmodern theology." -The Chronicle of Higher Education "Crockett's book is much more than an intervention into contemporary theological debates: it is an intervention that will change the very terms of these debates... It articulates a unique position that can only adequately be named Christian materialism. Crockett deploys the emancipatory core of Christianity that sustains every authentic radical politics." -- -Slavoj Zizek University of Ljubljana "An interesting topic, this book would be worth reading along with Twain's 'Autobiography,' Twain's final attempt to reveal his dark side." -Santa Cruz Sentinel
